[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If kid is scheduled to have something every day and when he doesn't see friends, no matter how much Dad is flexible, it will never be good enough for them.[/quote]

Now you are finally understanding what it means to be a parent. You are happy that the 17 year old is so busy doing social, academic, work and athletic activities that he barely has time to see his parents, because he is living his good life, he is happy and engaged and busy with the life of a teen.  A parent should be HAPPY for that.

A NCP can only be as much of a parent as the custodial parent allows them to be.

I would not be happy if my child is so busy they don't want to spend time with me.  Maybe that speaks volumes to you but my teen still loves to spend time with me.  And, they are heavily into sports, music, and much more.  [/quote]

Just to clarify - you think it's desirable for a 17 year old to spend Saturday morning, afternoon and evening and Sunday morning, afternoon, and evening home with you (or out doing things only with you), the first and the third weekend of every month, all day and all evening long, just with you?

Mine would... but then again we enjoy spending time together.  I'm sorry that you don't have that kind of relationship where you want to spend that time with you.  When mine even go away to camp, they insist we visit.[/quote]
