Hi all,
My son of 5 years old lives myself and my ex-partner 50:50.
We have been doing this for a couple of years now and have a court order in place stating where he stays and when.
His mum is saying that he sometimes gets upset and wants to spend more time with her and believes we should change the routine.
He is always really happy when he stays with me and seems to have a great time. He does occasionally miss his mum, and he make phones calls etc if he feels the need.
When i have asked him why he wants to see his mum he has told me it is because she allows him more time playing computer games/watching videos. As well as generally wanting to be with her.
My opinion is that this is not a basis for change. If we change now he will continually want change depending on who has the most interesting toys..
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Thanks.
