My 12 year old doesnt want to stay?? HELP!!
#204797 - 05/14/08 08:49 PM (71.228.222.98)

I have a 12 & 10 yrs old daughters. The 10yr old loves to go with her dad and stay but the 12yr old doesnt want to stay over night. I know that he isnt doing anything and she just wants her room and bed here. Our parenting plan is kinda crazy. He has them every other weekend but it starts friday after school and they come home on monday after i get off work. I cant tell you how many times my 12yr old has said "Why cant we just have a normal visitation?" He also gets them on the other monday from 3 to 7. She hates going then too. She wants to visit but not stay there over night, she said she just wished she could go every other weekend and come home on sunday. I have done everything I have thought of doing. Does she have a choice? I have even talked to him but he just says that she does want to stay. My youngest says that she does want to come home all the time. Is there anyway to solve this? Just venting.. any advice?? I just wished he would give alittle for her..:(

How long has this been a routine for?
What kind of sleeping arrangements are there during visitation?

Your parenting plan isn't that crazy really. Any reason she doesn't want to go. My oldest stopped going when she was l4 and hasn't had an overnight visit for two years. She just doesn't get along with him. I know it's hard to make them go, but it will eventually work itself out. Something about him must bother her. She's at an age where things we don't think about, or remember for that matter, start to change. They aren't little girls anymore! Can you and your X talk about it?
