If FOB sees LO..

How often does FOB see your child(ren)?

And how does it all "work"?

Like do they go to his every 2nd weekend and one night during the week until bedtime (common here) or?

I am still with my son's dad and we live together. So... he sees him everyday, all day. Unless he's working.

How it works for me and my fob I get the girls every Monday and Tuesday he gets them Wednesday and Thursday I get them every Friday he gets them every Saturday and we alternate Sunday's that way we get to see the girls a lot and its enough that they don't notice too much is different.

We have this set in stone til august 5th then it will be changing with help and fairness of our mutual friend who is my girls god father he is who helped us come up with this and helped us stay out of court he has the girls interest at heart not our. I suggest if you do this get a mutual friend it has saved me so much $

FOB comes to me every tuesday (he's here right now) am trying to get on with him for Evie's sake it works for now but is abit awkward

 

[Lissa3120]

I go to a mutual café every Tuesday for an hour or so. I don't feel comfortable with having FOB in my and my children's safe place, I don't want him coming in and making it a tense and stressful environment for them, when this is the one place they should always feel safe and secure.

It's working for now, but it's frustrating and awkward.

Also, just to add, he contributes nothing to our son. So for the contact, it's me whose worse off for it. But... it's worth it. I hope.

FOB has the twins every other weekend. He collects them from me at 6pm on Friday and drops them back at 6pm on Sunday. This works for me. I couldn't see any other way working. I think having some time away personally makes me a better parent cos I am well rested and have been able to catch up with all I couldn't when I had them.

Everyone is different so you have to arrange something that works for both of you.

Lucas sees his Dad twice a week, he picks him up at 11am and brings him back around 6pm. Very occasionally he'll have him overnight too, but I'm trying to get him to make that set days (say once a fortnight) as atm it's just whenever he's free.

my son sees his dad twice a week, for 2 hours on every other wednesdays and 6 hours on everyother saturday.

 

[CaptainMummy]

My lo stays with her dad 3 nights a week.

He picks her up at 11am on a wednesday, and i pick her up at 11am on saturdays.

I miss her, but she ia getting the best of both worlds imo. I also work the nights she is at her dads, so i have a little time to myself and to make some extra money to help me and her out

 

[Natsku]

We still haven't set a agreement up so at the moment we agree on a week by week basis but I'm trying to get him to agree to have her thursday afternoon/evening til saturday night (or sunday morning, not sure yet) and I'll have her the rest of the week.
