UrbanBaby Asks...
Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

for those of you who are divorced and have joint custody... do you not see your dcs for several days at a time (or even a week) and how do you deal with that? I don't think I could! I wouldn't necessarily mind missing them every other weekend, but longer than that would be very difficult.

We sold our apartment and each got a new apartment in the same school district and within a few blocks of each other. We do a three-days-on, three-days-off schedule, but we're both nearby so if there are ever emergencies, there's no problem with either of us picking the kids up from school.
[ Reply | More ]If the divorce was not your idea (or a mutual decision), I'm not sure that it ever gets easier. I, too, have a lot of "me" time and make a point of using it well, but vacations and holidays without my dc's are still pretty rotten. Now that my dc's are older (high school), it helps a lot that they prefer to spend as much time as they can at my home. I also suspect that the "empty nest" I'll get in a few years won't be quite as painful since I'll be somewhat used to it.
