[quote=Anonymous]I have a 17 yo senior with the same sort of arrangement for visiting his father.  And my 17yo is doing the same grumbling, not wanting to go, wanting to stay and hang out with friends, etc.  I gave my ex a heads up about what 17yo was saying and told him, that was their issue to figure out.  There are still some grumblings and when that happens I remind 17 yo that he needs to talk to his father about this.  Ex has talked to 17 yo and explained how important it is to him that he has time with son at his own home too, and that their time together is already minimum. 17 yo listens and argues back a little but mostly he just accepts what ex is saying.  These conversations come up every couple of months between them.

There are some differences here, I don't have a court-ordered custody agreement and although the breakup between us was bad, we never have a problem coming together for kid stuff.  None of the resentment seem to matter when we are parenting together.

Also, my ex always comes and picks up 17yo so this isn't an issue for me, but ultimately my kid would get in the car.  He might grumble and say stuff like "this is stupid" and get very angry but he's still going to do what I tell him to.

I sympathize with my ex and my 17yo. I can see both sides. [/quote]
