I don’t know if I’m looking at it the right way, but in mediation we came to an agreement every other weekend, dad worked in the week and would see her every Thursday. He then moved further away which was fine, and then had to drop the Thursdays because it was costly which I understand to, but this now means little one doesn’t see dad for 12 days, and everytime she comes back and she’s crying asking when she’ll see him next as the 12 days is a very long time not to see her dad, do I give him my weekends with her? I’ve been told it’s not my fault he’s moved away and he’s had to give up the Thursday, even though it’s nothing to do with me I can’t stop thinking giving him all the weekends will benefit her, weekdays we don’t spend lots of time together because she has school and needs to go to bed early, if I give both weekends it takes the chance away from us having quality time, but she does see me allot more we do have allot of time together just not quality time, anyone’s thoughts?
Why don’t you suggest him having her part of the weekend? My boys Dad used to get our boys every Saturday morning and bring them back Sunday afternoon.
Hi you don't say how further away he's moved but is it not possible for him to see her an hour a day straight after work maybe put her to bed then drive back home yes it would cost him petrol but on the flip side it's a small price to pay to see his daughter every day and stop her being upset....or would it be possible for you to take your daughter to him daily after he's finished work....get together sit and see if you can compromise maybe he drives over after work four days a week and you take her the rest of the week....hope this helps

I kind of do parallel parenting with him so I don’t actually allow him in our home as he was emotionally abusive, I’d say he’s about and hour or two away he had to move closer to work which I completely understand, he was seeing her on Thursdays for the day I think every Thursday but he dropped it as he couldn’t afford it so I think it would be the same for that to I would take her myself or meet half way but I don’t drive and not good with public transport x

I did mention this over call but he said he wouldn’t be able to afford it xx
