Hi,

Just after some opinions or advice please.
DS is 3 and currently see's dad weds 9-2 and Friday 12-5pm Saturday.

We're going back to court soon and he's asking for every weekend Friday-Sunday.

DS will be starting school next year and I feel that me never having a weekend with him is so unfair! I've offered EOW and the week with no weekend for dad to have DS once in the week. He's saying he can't do this as he'll be getting a job soon and how can he possibly work and have DS (yes I know everyone else manages to, me included!).

AIBU saying I'm not happy with every weekend?

Come up with a real sable counter proposal- every other weekend is the usual. Don't just go in saying you're not happy with every other weekend. And focus on what's best for your son ie spending quality time with both his parents especially when he starts school.

It's not clear from your OP - does he not work at the moment? Do you work during the week?

Yanbu! Do not give in and agree to every weekend. You deserve a weekend with him as well.

My friend agreed to every weekend with her children’s Dad as he bullied her into it and wouldn’t settle for anything else. She hates it. She leaves the house at 7:30am and returns home at 6pm. She sees less of the kids than he does as he has them Friday night to Sunday 6pm.

Of course that's not ok!

No, not fair. Don't go for this.

It’s not fair for your son or for you.

you’ll never get weekend quality time
