[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s be honest… at the end of the day, this child is living between two homes, a broken family. He does not have a sense of belonging. His father now has a family of his own. They are trying to incorporate him into their life but he isn’t having it. He just wants to be a solo kid but guess what, he isn’t! He has siblings. He has to share his father. He isn’t entitled to one on one time with his dad. [/quote]

Are you insane?! You think that kids from "intact" families don't get one on one time with their parent(s) ever?  I am a single mom and still spend some one on one time with each of my two kids.  Yes, this kid is entitled to spend some one on one time with his dad.  It doesn't sound like he insists all the time, but rather, he gets almost no time with just his dad.  Even with siblings, it is reasonable to want to spend time alone with your parent from time to time.[/quote]

This. One on one would be no big deal in an intact family. It would be considered a good thing! This is just one more loss that children of divorce have to experience.[/quote]
