after a multi year battle, I was awarded joint custody and 50.50 access . Not to demean mom but child has always struggled in school under her primary care. I'm really ramping the child up with school work, test studies and been able to help her get several As and Bs on tests she studied for with me. Before this time,when I didn't have 50.50, they were all fails, Ds and on rare occasions Cs.
Some subjects, like math, child is completely lost. Child has IEP as well. I'm basically pushing her to learn it. when she finally understands it, she solves the questions quickly. issue is, it causes a lot of friction and frustration. my concern is, it lowers quality of our time with one another and to be honest, no child really likes homework. so when child knows its daddy's time, it's time to do homework...ugh.... and she knows I don't slack off with homework. When there is homework or a test... it's time to do homework and study. period.
mom of course, not to demean, usually doesn't do the work , will maybe get child to do a bit just to "show" effort and it leaves me with the bigger burden.
question is, do tour children ever hate you or prefer not to visit you because you make them do homework and study? particularly in cases when the parent is the disney parent? and I ask this as a parent who was alternate weekend disney dad that wanted to be the involved not so much fun parent...
I really don't want my child to "choose" other parent because she is the YouTube and video games all day parent..
