Need advice on new custody arrangement

11h ago1 min read

So the court finalized things last month and I have the kids Wednesday nights and every other weekend. My ex and I are actually getting along pretty well which I'm grateful for but I'm struggling with the Wednesday night routine. By the time I pick them up from school and we eat dinner it's already getting late. I want those nights to be meaningful, not just survival mode. Does anyone have tips for making mid-week time with the kids feel special when you're tired and there's not a ton of time? How do you keep the connection strong when you're not the day to day parent?

Congrats on keeping things civil for the kids' sake. Wednesday nights and every other weekend is solid time to really build those connections without the stress of the custody battle hanging over everything.

That's great you two are getting along well through all this. The kids are going to feel that cooperation even if they don't fully understand it yet. Way to handle a tough situation with class.
