You give your kids the power which is why they don’t respect you if you say no. |
Stop being scared of your kid, grow up and parent. |
That’s not a relationship. |
When i started refusing visitations the judge basically just yelled at me and gave up when i made it clear that i was firm in my decision and i was only 11 when that happened. |
Bad judge. If you refuse to see your dad he should not have been forced to pay child support. |
I would say she was a good judge because in the end she respected my wishes, there wasn't any child support either way because both of my parents were well off financially. |
A good judge would teach you about family and the importance of a relationship with both parents. |
A good father wouldn't move 4 states away from their kids mother and expect their child to spend every school break and long weekend away from their friends and family but that's exactly what my dad did. |
Lots of parents do that. Mothers often move away and take the kids. You are with your friends and family all the time. Your dad is also family and spending long weekends and breaks is perfectly reasonable. Sometimes parents don’t have a choice, like for work. |
Doubtful that was actually the situation. |
