I am getting myself in a bit of a mess and I know I’ve left it very late but I just have no idea how to approach this so I automatically avoid! It is not helpful!
I have an 8 year old with my ex, horrid relationship in the end we don’t get along well! I usually have our child Christmas Eve then drop her to him late afternoon Christmas Day and have done for years (even when we were together I’d travel and take us to his family 40 min drive so over 1 hour 30 round trip) mostly because he didn’t drive. I have a new partner now and we have a new baby and I’m just confused how to make it all work. I really don’t want to be driving 1 hour 30 on Christmas Day with baby (who is exclusively breastfed) Selfishly I want to keep her but obviously that’s not an option but I really can’t think how to make it fair and make sure she doesn’t miss out. It’s driving me mad, if I speak to her about it she wants to do everything and has a brilliant relationship with both dad and I she’s very loved. I just want the best for her but also want to be fair.
