My son is due to see his daughter at a contact centre later this afternoon. He has been feeling a little poorly for a couple of days but has woken up with a stinking cold this morning. What do you think about him cancelling? I think he should go to the session as she will be likely to catch a cold with her mother or at play group anyway. He feels he should be responsible and not pass it on.
He has got to have 6 supervised sessions with an assessment done, then Cafcass will write a report for court. He had to cancel one session because he had to go away with work, so the sessions are put back a week. By the time the sessions are finished, there will only be 2 weeks before he is back in court, so if he delays again, then it will be so near to the court date that I doubt that Cafcass will complete on time, which will probably mean that the court date will have to be delayed.
Would you go anyway and enjoy your time with your child? He doesn't want to receive a bad report for going in with a cold.
mmm....personaly I would get dosed up with beechams so the cold wasnt obvious and go so that he had a cold and dont mention it as I wouldnt want to not go especialy as he missed one already and with court dates.
He should go in my opinion although I understand him not wanting to pass it on, kids get colds and the chilld may not catch it anyway.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks guys.
I went to the chemist and got him some stuff to stop his nose running etc. He arrived half an hour before his session was to start but they never turned up. She phoned up half an hour into the session and said that little one was poorly. We suspect that they are on holiday as every year we have known her, they always go away at this time of year.
that must of been disappointing for your son not seeing his daughter but well done for him going that was the right decision as it's the mother that has cancelled and therefore can have no reflection on your son for attending
feeling slightly jealous here my wife or mother wouldn't go and get me medicine when I have a cold they just comment on man flu and leave me too it lol
He was only saying as we were driving down there that he was surprised they hadn't pulled the no show trick and then it happened. At least it wasn't him cancelling.
She has been late every single time they have been to the contact centre, so this is just another way of him not seeing the little one.
