When a marriage fails, dont involve the kids in the name of punishing your ex.
Dont complicate the situation for them any further.
Effect of a broken homes on kids can be very traumatizing.
Most kids struggle with it secretly for life. While you may be oblivious to thier struggles.
Keep your differences aside.
They did not bargain for this.
Try to co-parent together irrespective of who has the kids.
Its not there fault so make intentional effort to make the effect of the break up easy on them.
Divorce is not the time to turn the kids against your ex. No matter what may have caused it.
Fathers, try to pay for school fees and other upkeep without delay.
Where the mother has the kids, dont try to poison them against their father or deliberately manipulate them against him especially when he's actually trying to be there.
And as for the men, oh God I dont even know what to say. I know of too many men who have abandoned their responsibilities and left the mother to cater alone for his kids.
I cant fathom why.
There is NOTHING macho or nice about avoiding your responsibilities towards the kids in the name of " I did not ask her to go with them"
Please do the needful. The kids are innocent and do not deserve to be caught in the middle of your battles.
You are a father and you have responsibilities towards your children. Dont fail them.
As single mothers in a situation like this, be diplomatic and be patient.
With the right approach, the man will do the needful eventually. For now, I send you a virtual 🫂 🤗 hugs and lots of prayers.
