Holidays and Split Up Parents
December 23, 2006 by Ginny M · Leave a Comment
The holidays are among the most difficult times for parents who are divorced or separated. Each one wants to see the children and spend time with them during the holidays. This isn’t usually much of an issue for those were both sides are responsible for the upkeep of the kids. They can act civilly toward each other for the sake of the kids.
The problem often comes up when one parent gives nothing to help raise the kids and yet expects to be given this very special time with the children. He or she isn’t there through the rough times but suddenly come Christmas and New Year, they appear, like Santa, to try and fulfill your child’s wish. You as the sole provider of the children will be considered the bad guy if you don’t allow them to go.
