All these posts seem to be about handling the division of time between people that are co-parenting.

Wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation as I, that the other parent is hardly involved? And if so, how do you handle it? What do you tell your child?

My daughter (six years old) saw her dad this weekend at a function for her older sister. He has seen her five times over the five month period of our separation. He was very affectionate and attentive while spending time with her this past weekend. As he was saying goodbye to her, she was almost frantic in trying to get a commitment from him as to when she would she him again. His non-committal reply was, 'my next day off'. Well I know his day off has come and gone since last weekend and he hasn't so much as called her. She has asked me specifically three times, 'when is daddy's day off so I can see him'.

My heart breaks for my daughter and the guilt I feel for taking her away from her father is immense.

Any words of wisdom?
