Hi there,
Looking to canvas some opinions really. I'll be as brief as poss!
One child, shared custody.
Christmas 2008 - 11:
Both exdp and I travelled to home town up North (250 miles away) and split time there with family there. We travelled separately.
Christmas 2012: I didn't travel home, DD had 1 week up North and one week down here with me. Her Dad drove 60 miles to a big city that I took the train to (so 1 hour driving v 4 hours on the train) in order to swap.
Christmas 2013: We all travelled to home town and split time there.
Christmas 2014: I am not travelling home again this year. I move house on the 22nd December and need to be here to organise the packing up of the old house, cleaning etc as we are ending a tenancy on a rental property and have to be out by the 2nd.
I have suggested that for the swap that we do the same as 2012. Exdp says that it is unfair and that I should go all the way to my home town to pick her up.
Is it really daft of me to think that he could at least meet me half way this time? Have I just got the blinkers on? He has the attitude that as I am the one breaking with our tradition I should be the one to do the travelling to pick her up. He can't understand why I am not visiting my family (er I'm moving and there are other reasons, we're just not close like that) and is trying to convince me that I should go as usual. It's just not possible.
Thoughts?
