[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I like a divide and conquer approach with our 5 yo DS. Part of it is health issues and if I'm being totally honest here, DH and I don't like each other that much a this moment and don't like being together. We do eat all of breakfast and dinner together. But DS insists on having what he calls "family day" on the weekends where he's with both of us.

I'm the main caregiver on the weekdays, so I thought DS would relish alone time with his dad, or even just want to be with me because that's status quo, but he really wants to be with both of us. Is this just a phase and he will outgrow it? but I really enjoy parenting DS but dealing with DH's issues at the same time is really rough.[/quote]

dp I think it is sweet to be honest.  Can't you plan to go on a hike or play a board game during the weekend?  Then after you can have your own time?  Perhaps doing more things together will help the relationship but, if not you are giving you son happy memories.[/quote]
