Unfortunately I only have access to my nine,soon to be ten year old boy (Sean) every second weekend due to divorce,but hey,that's life.
I was fortunate however to have him 24/7 for the last three weeks of the holidays so that rocked.
He is a bright guy and has improved plenty over the last year at school,so that pleases me no end.
His mother takes a hardline approach with him and whilst there is not a lot I can do due to the traveling distance between us,he is now starting to stand up for himself and question her nastiness.
I am working on it as well with a straight down the line attitude and well,I can only keep plodding.
He loves coming here each time and it is treated like an adventure cause we do all the stuff that he isn't allowed to do at "home".
Best of all he likes my music tastes and plays it up full boar at "home",much to the disgust of the ex.
But hey,that's life I guess.
