Bit of a strange one for me to post on a parents forum but here goes. I'm Jay, I've got a 6 year old son with my ex and he's with me every other weekend and Wednesday nights.
Looking for ideas for weekend activities in south London and to chat with other dads in the same boat. Sometimes it's hard to know what's normal.
Welcome Jay. Lots of us dads here, not all with conventional set ups either. Parkrun junior on Sunday mornings is great for that age.
Hi mate. Crystal Palace dinosaurs and the farm are free and good for a 6 year old. Ask for the dad groups here, there are a few.
Didn't know about the dinosaurs at Crystal Palace, that's this weekend sorted. Thanks lads.
Welcome! You're not the only one, honestly. Lots of mums post here about the same thing from the other side.
Hello Jay. My son was in the same situation for years. The routines and little traditions you build together mean a lot to the children.
Thank you. That's really kind.
Hi Jay. Different set-up here but one thing I've learnt: a bit of routine for his weekends with you helps. Same breakfast, same Saturday thing. Kids love knowing what's coming.
