[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think it’s better for a kid to have nothing more than a trivial relationship with one parent?[/quote]

Better than having trivial lives with no real home.[/quote]
Why wouldn’t they have 2 real homes?
My parents were divorced when I was a kid and we spent every other weekend with dad. Maybe it would have been the case anyway, but we were never close, he always felt like more like an uncle figure, and I didn’t know my father’s relatives very well. I think keeping the bond with both parents is so important, and 50-50 is probably the easiest way to achieve that. But if you don’t like it, why don’t you give up much of your parenting time so that your kids’ primary residence, their “real home” is with your ex?[/quote]

Op here. I am not divorced. I see this with selfish parents around me. My kids are grown and grew up with two parents.

Oh so you have no idea WTF you're talking about? I am an adult who's parents were divorced who wishes deeply things like 50/50 were commonplace when I was a child. I got summers and weekends with my sane dad and lived full time with my insane mother and alcoholic stepdad because 'kids need their mothers' and she was very litigious. Don't talk about this if you have never been a part of one of these situations. [/quote]
