This year I am to spend christmas day with daughter. However I can already sense my ex is going to cause an issue with regards to how much time I spend with. I want nothing more then for my daughter to spend equal time with both her parents.
Does anyone have any advice on schedules?
I should also point out I am not working from 24th December to 2 January
In my experience, parents sharing Christmas usually do one of the following;
Xmas Eve evening until lunchtime Xmas Day and swap this round the next year.
or
Xmas Day morning with one and the afternoon with the other and swap this round the next year.
or
when of school age - first week of hols until Boxing Day with one parent and swap this round the next year.
My ex messed up the consent order year b4 last. I have 6 broken up days with my two this year, whilst he has 11!!!! I asked our children what they wanted which started world war 3 as according to him theyt have no right to an opinion- they are 9! They want a week about which he is not agreeing to. Before he messed about with the consent order all hols birthdays and Christmas was even and fair- not anymore and he thinks it is quite funny too. As long as he gets more than me, their Mum he does not care.
