  • mccoytammi@gmail.com What do you when you have young kids and a business opportunity in another state but the other parent is not willing to compromise sharing the kids? I said they can stay during the school season with him and alternate the holidays. Then they can stay with me during the summer....what else can be done? 10 years ago   *   4 replies
    • brooklynblue does he not want to have to do the whole school year on his own i.e. homework etc? i know that can be taxing.... or is he worried if will affect the kids too much not having you around during the school year ? and you are offering to take kids for ALL the holidays and the summer? mayber he doesnt want to have zero downtime with them. 10 years ago
    • thenooge What is your current arrangement? You live near each other and split time with the kids? This is going to be a big change for everyone, especially your husband and the kids. 10 years ago
    • Stacy What else can be done? Don't move away from you kids. Turn down the offer and find something local so you can continue to be in their lives on a regular basis. Have you thought at all about what affect this type of arrangement will have on your children? 10 years ago
