[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I share custody of my 12 year old son. I have him most of the school week but he spends half the weekend (until Sat evening) with his dad. That means his only full weekend day with me is Sunday. He’s at an age where activities with friends are really important and I also like to take him on outings. But we also want him to so some scheduled activities like swim lessons, tutoring, etc. I’m hesitant to schedule any of these on Sundays, but that may mean that all of the extras are crammed into the school week, which doesn’t seem ideal either.

Any thoughts? [/quote]

Your custody schedule should not affect your kid's activities and friends schedule. You and dad need to do what you need to do to accommodate your kid. Also, 'extras' happen on weekdays and weekends whether divorced or not. Married people don't do 'outings' every weekend if their kids do activities.

Generally agree with you but dad’s not that great at facilitating activities with friends so one problem with scheduling “my” Sundays is losing friend time. [/quote]

What do you mean scheduling 'your' sundays? Scheduling what?[/quote]

Scheduling tutoring and lessons. Like I wrote in my OP. [/quote]

Schedule them!!!!!!!!!

Are you really this challenged by this?  What's the root of your concern?[/quote]

Feel free to read what I posted. [/quote]

Oh, I've read it.  All I hear is a mom looking to keep her Sunday free. [/quote]
