Rota

Me and my sons father have always had issues with my son since 2016 when we split as he often cancels and then we create a new rota to his favour and then finally made a rota for me working and turned out he was palming him off on his days. I went to speak to him about having consistency of every sat-sun so he is always having the same for nursery. He started an argument and ended up having wed-thurs one week sat-sun next so HE can have a social life. How can i get it to weekends without a battle as every time he gets angry i end up fearful due to past experiences?

7pm Weds-7pm Thurs one week, followed by 7pm Sat -7pm Sun the following week seems fair, and a nice balance for your son to have one weekday and one weekend day each fortnight with his Dad . This means he gets weekend time with both his parents (which will become more important when he's in school full time), and from what you say, it sounds like he gets to spend time with his extended family too. I'm not sure exactly what your problem with this is?

If your ex had him Sat- Sun every weekend, and you work Saturdays, surely that would mean you'd never get to see your son at weekends at all. Surely you don't want that?

I only work fridays and saturdays so i literally spend every day with my son and when he is in nursery thats only 2 hours so i see my son EVERY DAY. I dont get your point of "you will never see him" as im the only one who does
