[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your arrangement sounds terrible for the child. Sorry to have to say that. Why cant they see their other parent for Christmas? Our ex and I do Christmas separately. He buys them gifts. I buy them gifts. After all, isn't that the one perk kids think of divorce? Two Christmases? In any case, the one thing we do is that the kids buy ex a present. And ex helps kids buy me a present. It can be small but it helps kids be involved in gift giving and ensures that us single parents actually get a gift if we don't have family etc. [/quote] And forgot to add - yes, good idea about having kids mark the occasions for the other parent. I did this for my ex’a bday (ex did not do same but that’s ok), and will do same for other holidays as custom. I’d like to at least have one of us modeling to our child that you do kind things for the other parent on special occasions :)[/quote]
