Separate Households - Behavior Issues
2 years ago  ::  May 31, 2011 - 12:55PM #1

Is there anyone out there that is divorced from their child's father and had success with overcoming behavior issues after they have been with their father? Looking for help!

My daughter's father and I divorced. My daughter is... (not gonna lie) a holy terror when she comes back from her dads house. He and I don't have the same parenting ideas so she gets away with murder when she is with him. She's an only child at his house and due to my recent marriage, she has 4 siblings and 1 one the way at my house. She can't get away with as much with me and I think she doesn't see it as fair. So far, I have dealt with it head on. I tell her she can't act that way and after a day or so back home she does fine and gets back into our routine but it's always hard that first 24-48 hours after she comes back from his house. I hope this helped.

Thank you - yes I am in the same boat - my son is 3 and after being with his dad it takes about 24-48 hours before he is back to hisself again!  They see it at school as well - we even went through mediation but I am hoping to see some progress as he gets older.

That's what I'm hoping for too. She's gotten better in the last year. My ex and I have joint custody so he gets to see her everyday. Not my first choice but I didn't want to keep her away from him. I'm just hoping she gets better as she gets older.

Good luck!  His dad has him 1 overnight a week and 1 day until 7pm and then 1 weekend a month so I don't have to struggle with all the time but it is causing some trouble for him in school with him not minding :(.

I'm sure. The state I live in requires mediation for custody so I didn't have the option for full custody. I  tried like crazy. I hope it gets better for you soon!
