Deb, Tyler has recently started telling me he doesn't like going to his dad's anymore. He says it's because his dad never does things Tyler needs to get done or that are important to Tyler, and also because his little sister is a terror and he can't stand how dad and stepmom don't control/discipline her. I told him we have to follow what the court said but that he should talk to his dad about these feelings. I did mention this to his dad at a recent psych appt. last week. Dad seemed shocked. The hard part is that they (dad and stepmom) want the whole family to do everything together, which I totally understand, but it's hard when there's such big age difference between both kids. He's 10 and she's 3. He is a good sport and tries to go along with the little kid activities to try to give his sister a good time. It's something us adults need to discuss soon. I think more issues in this regard will come up after they move because I highly doubt his dad will drive him 20 minutes each way to and from scouts once a week when he doesn't get home until a few minutes before scouts starts, and that will make Tyler upset because he loves going. Time will tell. Lots of changes coming up with their move.
