My parents are divorced, I switch houses every week but I want to be with one more what do I do? ?

Question

ant to be with one parent for my time than the other

Answer 1

Tell them what you want. You didn't ask to be in eternal limbo, shipped back and forth between the two of them. Keep in mind that they are the ones who created the situation; thus, you should have no qualms telling them what you wan. You are the victim in this situation, and that gives you power.

Answer 2

Sit down with both of your parents and tell them that this moving back and forth from house to house, just isn't working for you. You need you live in one house and call that your home and have visitation with the other parent. Tell them custody is suppose to be in the best interest for the child and what's best for you is to live at one parents house.

Tell them you love them both and want them both in your life, but you want your home to be with _______ (parents name).

At first it's going to be hard on the parent you don't want to live with, but in time he/she will understand that this is what is best for you, because having a stable home is what is making you happy.

Answer 3

Can you talk about it with them? If you can't talk to both of them at once, I suggest you mention it separately. I know it might be awkward because you might be afraid of hurting one of them, but if you say you don't like switching houses etc. and really explain it then they should listen to you. If it is a court-ordered shared time though then they might have to apply to the court to vary it, depending on your age the court might take your view into consideration.
