Do You Miss Your Kids Like Crazy?

Question

Since being separated/divorced I only get to see my kids 3 nights a week and every third weekend. This would be my weekend but my ex-wife is moving next and asked if I would trade weekends. I was a stay at home dad so I was with them all the time. I do appreciate the freedom but I do really miss my oldest boys brilliance, my middle boys humor and my daughters everything.

Do you miss your kids when theyre not around?

Answer 1

Yes as of right now I'm home alone and I miss them more than anything!!!!  My 17 year old son is sleeping over a friends, and my 7 and 15 year old daughters are at my mom's house. And my husband went to the super market. So it's pretty quiet now, and I kind of want them to come home and ask me to do things for them! Weird huh?!

Answer 2

Awh, that actually made me tear up a little bit (I'm sensitive, haha). While I don't have to go through what you do, I'm truely sorry. :( Just think about the next time you WILL get to spend with them and look forward to it. Cherish every moment, as I'm sure you do! You seem like a great Dad... I definitely commend you! A Dad like you is hard to come by. I wish I had a Dad like you when I was growing up!

Answer 3

My daughters grandparents moved to coosbay so ill let her go and see them for 2 weeks every 3 months or so to spend time with them, although its not the same thing i do instantly miss her, i wake up in the morning thinking i have to take care of her when she isnt even there, i understand what your saying about you appreciating your freedom, i do to but i still miss her like crazy!

Answer 4

Keep in mind you see your kids alot more than many divorced dads. Many only have kids 4 days out of the month.. But guess what, my heart breaks ever time they go and we've been doing this for 8 years.

Answer 5

I'm so sorry for you hurting like this. I have joint custody with my ex husband. We share an 8 year old daughter. I miss her so much when she isn't here with me. I call her everyday but it seems like the phone calls aren't even enough. I understand the feelings you have, except you have 3 awesome children that your missing. I'm sorry about your ex wife. But you did what was best for you. Hopefully you will be complete again. Good Luck!!!
