Ex and I share care with the boys. DS1 and 2 went to the school near to him and family home. DS1 now goes to comp in the same street as me now.
There's a good primary over the road from me and I've suggested ds2 go there now (he's yr 4) I know he wouldn't be keen at first as it's a big change but it'd be more practical all round and he's sociable so would settle in.
Ex is strongly opposing saying it'd be too upsetting for him. He said we should have a meeting with present school. Also said he'll lend me his car when I have dss. I don't see how this will work to be honest as usually I'm fitting in with him and his work as he works for himself?
I want to go back to work soon doing hair locally to start with until I can afford a car. I don't like driving but will have to get back into it. I also thought I may do some childminding but it'll be impossible if boys are at 2 schools. DS1 may be ok alone once he gets used to school but I am a little over protective of him.
I'm thinking we should see a family mediator as ex is very stubborn and I know he won't change. Or maybe this is a waste of time?
I'm really stuck as to what to do as I know it's not going to be practical in the long run and ds2 has 3 years left at primary.
