Great Advice!!! (Reply to this comment)
by AinsleyJo
There's nothing worse than using a child as a weapon.
Unless the other parent is really awful and shouldn't be around kids, there should be no games played when it comes to visitation.
You also gave great advice re: how the non-custodial parent doesn't have to make it one big Disneyland party--that it's better just to relax and enjoy the time spent together with occasional bigger events thrown in during the natural scheme of things.
Kudos!

Having been a single parent (Reply to this comment)
by SurgRN911
You gave some excellent advice. It's not an easy thing to do, but love and hard work will make the outcome ok. Let me add I am glad I am not having to do it in these times.
So many more obstacles it seems, peer pressure, and I think one of the biggest problems is not being able to discipline a child in fear of the law stepping in.
Dang my folks would still be under the jail, for how Gungian and I were raised, but it sure did not hurt either of us.
To all single parents God bless you.

A Common Status These Days.....Single Parent (Reply to this comment)
by rjc
While I am not a single parent, I do have 3 sisters that have been divorced and 1 that looks like she may soon be. Actually she's been playing the role of single mother, eventhough her husband is around.
Basically I am convinced that the stats within my own family reflect the way society has become overall. Single parents are growing in numbers, and reviews and advice such as this can only help lessen the burdens regardless of whether it is a single mother or father.
My respect for single parents only grows.
...You Go Girl.......or Boy (whatever the case may be)

Nice job (Reply to this comment)
by jo.com
I honestly don't think my ex loved/s my kids all that much and certainly not like I do. If he did he would have taken them to the dentist once in 18 years or bought them a pair of sneakers just in case his kids' mom's measly child support check didn't cover it. Ok...you'd think after 20 years I would have vented enough. Your advice is good, too bad so many (including myself) don't take it. It is really hard to say nice things when that person has you on welfare! jo

Very solid..... (Reply to this comment)

...advice Becky. I'm sure that your children have benefitted greatly from living with a Mom who has their best interests at heart.
Too many times one or both parents are playing a control game with the other adult..through the kids. Not good for the children at all, that is for sure.
Keep up the great writing...kath
