Hi all,

I'm new and wanted to get some opinions about this ongoing problem. I've been divorced for about a year now and our agreement was I could have my son on weekends since I was not working weekends.

For about 6 months now, I have been required to work some weekends during the month. It varies which weekends I work but at the most 2-3 / month.

I have told my ex of my new schedule. Sometimes she goes along with it and sometimes she does not. I have asked her to take my son(11yr old) on weekends I have to work. Sometimes I have to use a daycare facility($!) on Sat and sometimes I even use my 91 yr old Mother so I take him over there.

I'm trying to reach an agreement with my ex about taking him on weekends I am unable to but she feels that I have to make arrangements myself since I agreed to this in our settlement. I told her that it was agreed when things were different so we now have to come up with an alternative.

I'm just looking for other ideas from you guys or opinions on what we could do so we both can get along in the future. She just won't budge.

Thanks for your help!
