D'S and contact with father

4 replies

Looking for some opinions

DS(6) sees his father 2 hours a week on his father's weekday rest days. His dad has weekends off outside of that but not every weekend but doesn't see him then. He will only have him from school finish to when I finish work on weekdays. No room for manoeuvre there owing to his wishes.

My DS has got upset about the low level contact but I can't do much about it. Would I BU to say I think that 2 hours a week is more disruptive than beneficial? I want to tell him to stuff contact. He doesn't contribute in any other way.

Not sure there is anything more you can do . Tell him you are happy for him to see his dad more and to talk to his dad . Honestly you don’t have to solve the problems his dad creates

Yeah but he needs to se his dad more. How do I do that? Or excuse his behaviour?

Can you manage the situation? Suggest they do something that your ex would actually LIKE to do with his ds?
