My children father doesn't see his children until he get in from work after 11pm at night, they only see him,talk to him in the morning. I've been trying to work something out with him to avoid court so that my children will be home with me since I'm the parent who's there when they're out of school, give mental emotional support and does the bulk of everything for our children. I won't down talk him at all because he's their father but my children rarely see him, spend time with him or anything because of hours he work therefore, it's about our children and we as parents need to start thinking more of our children and stop being selfish and thinking of ourselves. If the roles were reversed and i worked the hours he did and he worked hours i do (8-4) then my children would be home with him, no questions asked because they are our children, not our significant others, grandparents, aunts uncles, friends etc, but they're ours and therefore should be home with the parents who's best supportive and can give the time and nurture that children need. I forgot to mention that,by the time their father arrives in from work they're in the bed sleep after 11pm, where's there the time for them to even talk to him,spend time with him, play with him etc. only in the morning when they see him for not even an hour and off to school they go and this is on the days he has them. It's not fair to our children that dad isn't there to give them that time they need/support and more, unfurtunately he works the 2nd shift and can't give them what they need. If him and I come to an agreement then when he has time to spend with our children, all he has to do is call and let me know he's home and can he come pick up our children and if we're not already out and about then of course he can come get them and spend the time and give the support/nurturing that they need from him. I don't want anything from him at all (money) it's about our children period. comments suggestions please
