Co parenting SUCKS
I don’t even think we are co parenting because I make all the effort but I don’t know what else to call it. But oh my I cannot cope with how challenging my son is when he comes back from his dad’s house! He’s always super hard to settle, cries, whines and kicks off over everything! His dad lets him do whatever, eat whatever and there’s no routine and lots of tv. So when my son comes home I have to deal with this then when I finally get some normality back in our week, it’s Friday again and he’s off to his dads for the cycle to start all over again.

@Courtney I’ve tried and all he says is “sorry didn’t realise” and that’s it then the cycle repeats. My son’s dad doesn’t actually care about how my week with our son goes or how he behaves for me as long as our sons good for him that’s all he cares about. X
Start recording your son’s behaviour when he comes home and send it to him. Tell him that you don’t want to keep sounding like a parrot going on about the same things. Ask him to work alongside you so your son can have fun with his dad but also come home to you happy. It’s so frustrating when they don’t listen
@Jade I’ve done this, I’ve called him too when he’s mid kick off and he doesn’t care x

Have you tired to speak to your sons dad about how he is when he does return? If not that’s always an option , face to face not over text or the phone and as much as it might be hard try not to come across as confrontational and that it his fault for it. Hopefully he will understand where you coming from and start to follow a similar routine to you. I hope this helps x
