DD (4) goes to her dads for the weekend. He picks her up on a Friday after school and bring her back Sunday evenings.
However, for the last 4 weeks I have had tears every Friday morning saying she doesnt want to go to her Dads, she doesnt like it there, he always shouts at her and she will miss me too much.
I must add that when me and her dad split up 2 years ago she hated coming home to me, would put the waterworks on while her dad dropped her off but would be fine as soon as the door was shut and her dad had gone.
I feel so bad sending her to school knowing that she doesnt want to go.
I spoke to her teacher this morning to ask if she was ok when her dad picked her up (thinking maybe she just played the waterworks to me and was fine when her dad picked her up) and explained that I'd had tantrums every morning because of her not wanting to go. The teacher has said that she cries at the end of the day when she sees its her dad picking her up :(
I feel that if she makes the decision not to want to go to her dads then I should listen to this and speak to her dad about it? (she is more of a 7 year old than a 4 year old - very grown up for her age mentally)
Ijust want to know what you think?
