Change at Christmas

[Lisa3578]

Hello,

I have two children to the same father and another younger to a different father. I currently have a court order where we hand over on boxing day but I want Christmas day as I don't want my youngest to miss out on Christmas day with the other two however the father of the other wont agree to this as they are with him this year. I am looking to take this back to court to get it changed.

Has anybody else had such luck?

Thank you

That's just what happens when you have ex partners and children. You can't have it your way all the time. What will you do next year? Expect all the children again?

I don't always celebrate Christmas Day with my family due to work commitments but I've realised over the years it doesn't matter 'our Christmas Day' is when we're all together. It might be Boxing day or the 27th but it's still as much fun. The kids love it because it's like a second Christmas. I think you need to bite the bullet here and accept you're not going to have them all every year.

I mean she had the children on Christmas Day last year and I will have them this them this year.

The mother wants them this year or half the day but it's my turn

maybe compromise and ask him to collect after xmas breakfast or lunch so the kids get to eat together and he has them xmas day but for a late xmas dinner?. that could work they could open presents at both houses and have a meal the 3 together, then go for the afternoon and dinner to dads house? x
