Me and my xh have two young children. 3 and 5, both are in school.
Im sorry if I ramble on but its a little complicated!
Anyway, a little background.
he decided he didnt love me anymore and so we divorced!...I since moved on and am with a new partner, been together a couple years.
He got a gf just before xmas, they are living together already and she has 2 boys of her own.
He has a hobby on the side were he coaches kids football, this takes alot of his time up including weekends. When he has our kids he still does his hobby and his gf looks after the kids at their home.
The past few weeks the kids have stayed at his on a sunday and monday night, but this seems to be effecting my youngest as he becomes quite clingy on the 2 mornings he has been at his dads.
At work he has just recently arranged to work from home some of the time, and is now looking at having the kids more through the week. He said he wants to see the kids 50% of the time.
Im not sure if this is a good idea or not?? Im all for the Dad being in our kids lives but is it normal for them to be away from Mummy so long?
I have said Im happy to try it for a couple of months to see if it works, but made it clear that the routine needs to be the same.
I dont really know what is the best for my children?? I really dont want this to impact on their school life
