I'm in a real bind right now. My ex has asked to have the kids for the whole holiday. Christmas is on a monday and that weekend before is his weekend. Our divorce papers says that we have to agree on a holiday schedule and if we can't we have to follow the friend of the courts guidlines. I have told him this because I want at least one day with my kids for christmas. He said that it isn't fair because I had the kids last christmas and it's his turn. Well we weren't divorced yet, so that's why I had the kids. The problem I'm having is that he lives in Toledo and I'm afraid if he takes them on friday he will not bring them home sunday or christmas morning. What should I do?
Go to Toledo. Let your hubby have the kids for the/his weekend and then spend Sunday night if possible at his house (sleep on the couch....) or at a close hotel. That way both mom and dad can be with the kids on Christmas morning. Remember this is about and for the kids. Make it the best holiday for them. The 2 adults should be able to get along and be happy like a family for 24 hours of Christmas. Remember...it's about the kids!
