Working and co-parenting

[Radicalradiator]

I work 4 days a week and my son is at school. My husband has left me but lives nearby and wants to do a large chunk of the childcare. The issue is that because I work long days, on the weekends where I don’t have my son it means I will barely see him that week. Just pre 7:45 and post 6pm 4 days a week which is rubbish. I’m not sure what I’m asking or if there’s an answer but putting it out there for thoughts....

Could he have your son the days you’re at work? So pick him up from school and then he stays there until the day you finish work when he drops him back off? You won’t see him at all for 2 days but then you’ll have him for a straight 3 completely? I’ve based that on if you worked mon-Thurs

Unfortunately that's the way it goes. You get used to it.

That's my life every week! I work fulltime and see my kids for an hour 630-730 and after work 530-7, and every other weekend. Its just how it is.

@Berrylove no he works full time too. When we were together it was fine as I saw him after school on my day off and then all weekend. But now that’s every other weekend. Urgh I hate all this.
