[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the problem with a lot of divorced dads - they feel like the time with their kids is supposed to be some 3 day, quality play date with Dad. That’s not what they need, that’s not how a family works. When the kids are with mom they do school, there’s dinner, and then homework and some independent time and then maybe a game or something. Single mothers are not filling every moment of their time with their kids with bonding and group activities. Try to be a normal family. Do not be jealous with YOUR time. Let them have a play date, let them be bored, do chores. I’m certain the kids feel pressured to enjoy the time with you and want to make you happy but probably can’t meet your expectations. Love them, spend time and be normal.   Good on you for stepping up. Better late than never.[/quote]

The issue is they get very little time together.  There is a huge difference between 3 days a week and three days every two weeks or even 4 days a month.  [/quote]
