To not want DD (5) to go to her dads this weekend.

[Hairyfairybumscary]

Hi all, DD (5) usually goes to see her dad every weekend, he picks her up at 4:30pm Friday and fetches her back around the same time on a Sunday afternoon.

We moved 55 miles away almost two years ago and this has been the arrangement ever since. He missed last weekend because his car was in the garage so he couldn't get over to pick her up or take her back if I had taken her over.

Snow has been forecast over the weekend, more so where he lives. The route to his place is over higher moor land which is notorious in winter for accumulating snow.

I have a little bit of a conundrum, DDs dad would still like to have her this weekend as the snow wot be arriving until Saturday supposedly so it will be safe for him to drive here and back on Friday evening. He has said that if it does snow Saturday-Sunday then he won't risk bringing her back for school on Monday.

I've suggested that he misses another weekend but then that means he has my had her for 2 weekends, on the other hand I'm not particularly happy with the possibility of her missing school.

WIBU to cancel this weekend?

The media love a good weather warning these days and imo these are issued too readily. I wager there will be a sprinkling of snow on the hill tops which will melt within 24 hours. YABU.

What do you think happens between the non-custodial parent and child/ren in Canada, America, Norway, Sweden, Scandinavia when it snows? YABU.

I agree with whoever said let her go, but make sure he's in charge of communicating with the school if they need to be communicated with. If as she gets older, these occasional absences continue, then he should be the one responsible for answering to the school.
