[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We both agreed that one home is best. So I have the house and the kid, but kid sees dad most days of the week. Dad lives close and does school pickups and drops him here, takes him all day one weekend day, goes to all events, feeds him dinner a few times a week, etc. But my kid has a single home base, one room, one bed, and one set of stuff. I can't even imagine kids shuttling around two to three times a week.[/quote]

So, you are telling your child is is not able to be at his Dad's home?  If Dad is a good guy, what message are you sending?  Or, you are saying child isn't welcome at Dad's home.  Child has two parents in two homes.  He should be welcomed in both.  I'm assuming you want it that way to increase your child support as some go by overnights.[/quote]

You don't know anything about us. Dad lives in a studio - that's what we can afford because we are keeping the kid in the marital home. This is actually a pretty common situation for non one-per enter divorced parents.  You are painting some BS fantasy about two full "homes" with gardens, playrooms, and dogs. If I have to go out of town, dad would sleep over here because the important thing to us is the the kid sleeps in HIS bed every night. And it says more about you than me that you presume I'm just a money-grubbing beyotch. [/quote]

I don't see you as a money-grubbing beotch, just someone who drank the kool aid about how kids don't need dads and moms are the real parents...you may think men are the kind who just take off at any second so better the kid doesn't build too much of a relationship with him. To him dad has no grounding, no home, he just occasionally drops in to moms house to say hi. you are fine with dad living in a tiny studio so you can stay in a big home and enjoy all the perks of a home, while he has a sucky quality of life. I hope you don't accept any child support or else I would feel you are also money grubbing. Your husband lost his home and his life and his son in the divorce. I really hope he was cheating scum or else you must have had a cut throat take it all lawyer.[/quote]

Makes no sense to keep a big house for one child. Child can sleep in studio with dad.  It may not be grand but he is with his father.  You very clearly see dad as a babysitter and not a parent.   So, your kid never sleeps over anyone's house and never travels with you.   If he does he is not in his bed.  You have double standards.  You get far more child support is dad has no overnights.   Married parents don't have grand houses with playrooms and dogs.  We don't and our kids are just fine.  There is more to life than a fancy house.  [/quote]
