Es gibt Tiere wie Beluga Wale und Delfine, die betreiben; Vögel wie der Hausrotschwanz, die ihren eigenen entwickeln und organisierende Tiere wie z.B. Erdmännchen.

Maintaining a peaceful co-parenting relationship without constant arguments even if you still resent your ex

When teens, focus on quality connections rather than counting hours. Set clear expectations they can follow, like regular dinner nights. Let them make choices while coordinating decisions together.

Making memories, daddy-daughter lunch and time together

I was back in River Town today. After the difficulties of reaching you 2 weeks ago, because of the rail strikes, I looked for various backups but ultimately I just had to be lucky that the drivers would turn up this morning.

At 7:45am I got up and checked travel planner, all they could advise is that services may be disrupted because of the strikes. I got ready, excited to see you, but with the horrible feeling that if the journey wasn’t possible, I’d have to box up the disappointment.

This time last year

It’s astonishing how much can change in a year. I hadn’t realised that your mum was executing her plan to get me out of your life and minimise my role as your father.

Today in River Town

I arrived after 2 trains and a rail replacement bus. I was hot and tired but of course got energy from giving you a kiss. You greeted me with ‘daddy’ and have become much more chatty. I love hearing your voice.

We walked to the centre and played in the park while the time passed and we could go to our daddy daughter lunch date. Lots of families enjoy going to Nando’s and I wanted a fun atmosphere which the staff provided – some of the chain restaurants may not be the most classy but they tend to cater for little ones very well and having arrived just before the lunch rush, the staff were attentive.

After lunch the weather was confusing and you seemed a bit restless so I wanted to get out and about and give you the chance to sleep in your buggy. I walked towards the canal and zig zagged across the adjacent parks. We went past happy families enjoying their day. It was exhausting to go from chilly to hot weather and the pain seeing your attention on kids with their families.

My favourite part today was when you had woken up and we played on the grass with you sitting on me occasionally, snuggling your head on my chest. I dream of when we will nap together, where you will be secure and loved.

Being together makes me happyI crave the smell of your little bean

Upcoming father’s day

Our second father’s day is coming up. I don’t feel like a real father to be honest. I take my responsibility for you extremely seriously but up till now I feel like an annoyance, just bothering your routine, when you’d rather be at home with your toys.

I hope we’ll share lovely father’s days in the future. Maybe just lunch at a Sunnyland restaurant or the pub with mates.

I’m always thinking about you sweetheart.

The torment of looming family court

This week started with the deadline for filing documents to the court. All weekend it’s all I thought about. The stress and uncertainty that the outcome may become a horrible legally enforced separation between us.

Your mum’s lies and accusations

Your mum has used random messages as evidence against me. She’s clutching at straws including making up that I take you around all day on public transport. She has no remorse and acts with total impunity. The sad fact is she can make up whatever she likes, it’ll just work against me and never be checked.

The reality is that since she took you away the day before my birthday, the week before Christmas, I’ve been too scared of losing time again. I’ve brought you home and avoided travelling in case she refuses to let us have time together, again.

Taking the solicitor and barrister’s advice

Everyone is telling me to concede, to present myself as the reasonable one. They’ve told me the courts won’t do anything to bring us back to the same city, or develop a suitable arrangement so I can coparent you.

I’m shattered and heartbroken. I will go to court to face lies. I’m devastated and the week hasn’t even finished, the event hasn’t even taken place.

The courts will reinforce the status quo, the status quo your mum calculated to separate us and make it impossible to care for you or even give you a kiss goodnight, without her getting in our way.

I don’t know what Friday will bring but it’s nearly here. We’ll be in the same city but I’m not allowed to go and see you at nursery.

Thinking ahead

In the future, something will change, I’m sure. Right now, this is the most pain I’ve ever experienced.

My dream is to give you a bath tonight, to put you to bed and listen to you sleep all night.

Me and my now 16 year old son joked about it yesterday - “the elf has to be small to get under the futon”

Glad we can look back on this in humor.

I remember the time i had to explain to my then 4 year old child I was splitting with his mom, and explained he wouldn’t 2 christmases. It shaked out to be I’d get him Christmas Eve

“But Santa only comes at night, I won’t have any presents in the morning”

“Uhhh, elves come with baby reindeers to deliver to dads houses”

Imagine Santa has a divorced dad contingency plan
