TheTeenGirl answered Sunday May 28 2006, 6:17 pm: The way you should look at everything is that your parents probably didn't want to have to put up a schedule for you and your sisters. They didn't intend on getting divorced and putting your family through all of this, so take note that this probably isn't easy or satisfying for them either.
It sounds like they want you and your sisters to have equal time with your dad and that's the way it should be whether you feel like it or not. Your dad will want to see you every chance he gets because you will no longer be living together as a family and that's hard to do. There are times where you'll want to do something else instead of spending time with your dad, but it will make your dad happy.
You have to mske the best out of things. You can't always be entertained and when you aren't, you have to do something that will keep you busy. Spend time catching up with your sisters or talk to your dad. It's not like you won't be going places with him. Just wait until this plan actually comes into play and you'll see that your parents just want the best situation out of this.

I never really got to choose when I was going to be with my dad or mom, they just kind of chose for me and my siblings. Ask the lawyers if there is anyway that the scheduale could be flexible. Also talk to your parents. They are going to have to agree so there are no big arguments over custody. If the flexible scheduale is out of the question, I guess just pick a scheduale that you think will work best. I know it's hard, but if there is no way around it, you just have to be the bigger person and suck it up. If you need any other advice about this situation, you know where to find me. Hope this helps.

Sometimes I'll go to see him, sometimes I won't because I don't feel like seeing him. It's not like he's always forcing me to go either, so maybe you should just tell him before you go over that you don't want to go that certain day. I don't think he'd get too mad at you if you don't feel like going out that day or something. Don't think about it too much and take the scheduled times as they come. Your sisters probably won't want to see him sometimes also, so don't feel bad if you kindly tell him.
