My dd is 17 months and has been stopping overnight at her dad's every other weekend since she was 10 months. He collects her at 11 am on a Saturday and drops her back at 4pm on a Sunday. However it has become increasingly obvious over the last few months that her behaviour changes when she comes home, she seems very detached, unloving & not the happy little girl that I saw the day before. She is also off her food & unsettled. Not for one second do I think that her dad is a bad farther & I know he thinks the world of her, however I am now starting to feel guilty that I am sending her there and it isn't good for her emotionally. My main priority is my child but I do want her to have a healthy relationship with her dad also . Has anyone else been in the situation or has any ideas?

You could ask him what sort of things they do together. Does he do bedtime routine? She may just be tired. Does he even know what's involved Smile

What food does he give her? My ex tried to feed my ds takeaway curry at three, which didn't do down too well.

Have you tried talking to his mum or sister? Someone in his family with some mum experience....
