[quote=Anonymous]Your brother has less than 1/3 of the time. Yes it’s shared custody but far from equal time. He needs to up his game for a better relationship. Also this is a 4.5 year old how has never spent more than three days at a time away from mom. No wonder mom wants to be sure her child is doing ok. Relationships and needs change a lot over time. But it is the parent’s job to cultivate the relationship. It’s pretty convenient to blame mom when dad is just sitting back and doing very minimal. Under these circumstances, my family (who has gone through a number of successful divorces with custody issues) would plan things and include mom. We’d be working at drawing out nieces and nephews to build relationships and taking tons of photos and making a photo book for your niece so even if she doesn’t remember she will know you were there and had tons of fun together. In your case with being in a foreign country where you’re not likely seeing them often is far tougher than when they live within a car drive away. [/quote]
