I'm new to this and not sure if I'm putting this is the right section but here goes.. My son has fortnightly visits with dad (Friday evening until Sunday eve) Son starts primary in Sept and dad is asking for an extra sleep.. Returning son home on the Monday morning before school around 7:30am. I have multiple problems with this.. 1st my son was always terribly grumpy and a nightmare to get to nursery on a Monday after spending the weekend with his dad.. He was on afternoons at Nursery so it was somewhat manageable.. But if son was to return home just an hour/hour and a half before he's due to be in school it will all be far to rushed in my opinion.. No good for my son at all.. And after spending the weekend away is it really fair to expect him to spend just an hour of rushing around at home before he's carted off out the door again.. I imagine he will just spend the entire school day desperate to get back home, spend some time with his mummy and little brother and play with his toys.. And then there is the problem that my son doesn't actually WANT to spend extra time at his dads.. I usually give in to dads demands as confrontations with him have always made me literally tremble :( But I feel strongly about this.. Regardless of the fact it's a bad idea (in my opinion) to begin with son doesn't WANT too. And if I say 'No' it will of course be because I'm trying to keep dad and son apart
I always encourage my son to spend time with his dad so this is not the case. Am I being unreasonable.. Is this actually not such a bad idea
...?
Ps: On top of fortnightly weekend my son also has holiday contact with dad 7 sleeps during the summer, 5 sleeps during Easter.. Extra nights during half terms.. Extra for Christmas. And other occasions.. Family's birthdays etc.
