He goes to his Dad every other weekend. His Dad has a car and lots of extended family so he has a great time. My Son loves going in the car and visiting his relatives. He goes to farms, zoos, soft play centres, parks. He loves going to his Dads.
I work part time (soon to be full time). My situation is different. I have no friends in this area, no family and no car. It's a bus ride to get anywhere. My Son does like going in the bus so I take him swimming, soft play and for walks around town.
The problem is he's still not that good a walker and getting a pram on the buses here is not something I would even consider. I have to get out every day but most of the time we just walk somewhere or go to the local park.
I don't actually do much with him and we spend most days just in the house.
He won't do crafts or structured activities so I just let him play on his own.
He goes to nursery three days a week and I love when he's there as he's getting social interaction and making friends.
I have to be honest and say I really don't like going out with him. I find it very stressful unless I'm with someone else and I'm either staying very local or going somewhere by car.
It's completely different when you have a car and I absolutely love going places when my parents come up or I go on a joint visit with my ex.
I was supposed to take him to soft play today but he said he just wanted to stay in. We're going to spend an hour on the trampoline e instead and. Go for a walk.
I feel a bit bad really and I'm looking forward to him being st school and having friends so he's not as isolated.
AIBU to not really do anything with him?
