How do you deal with your children going to father's half the week?

[Rose7890]

Scary to actually write it down but I'm contemplating seperating from my husband but I'm terrified of having to hand over my children (under 3) they are just babies and I do mostly everything for them. I've got so many questions in my head and really don't know what to do but that is the thing that pains me the most.

You have to focus on what is bestfor kids, not what you want. And look at positives, you'll get some childfree days each week to do whatever you want, go out with friends (once covid is over etc) or whatever you want

Will he want, or be able to, have them half the week?
My dcs dad left 11 years ago and I'm lucky if he has them 1 day at the weekend!

Mine didn’t go half the week until he was about 6. We split up when DS was 2 but it was 1-2 nights at first.

It’s tough at the moment with covid but in normal times it’s nice to have uninterrupted time to yourself. You just have to make lots of plans at first and then when you’re used to it you can have a lie in, long bath, Netflix binge. Whatever you like. It’s much better than being in an unhappy relationship.
