Kids don't want to leave after my weekend

Last night when I took my 7 and 9 year old back to their mom's place, my youngest had a meltdown. He was crying saying he didn't want to go. It broke my heart. I know this is tough on them but it kills me every time. My ex says I'm making it harder by getting them excited about activities. How do you all handle the emotional part of this?

That's the hardest part of the split honestly. Those meltdowns are real and they mean you're doing something right - they feel safe and loved at your place. It gets easier as they get older but man, those goodbyes are rough.

I've been there. It stings but it also means your weekends are meaningful to them. You're not just checking a box, you're making memories that matter. Hold onto that.
