My son who is 10& my daughter who is 8 dont want to see there dad?

Question

ive been told when hes he dont have to go to his dads is this right

Answer 1

My son is nine and choose not to see his dad again I have spoken to him in great detail with him about it, But at the end of the day it is your childrens decision .

Good luck

Answer 2

well it depends i am assuming that you are divorced and he has visiting rights

if this is the case your children may be expiriencing some type of abuse while with their father. I am not saying anything please don't get upset but if you think about it there is no logical reason for them not wanting to go to their fathers house.ask them what is going ?

Answer 3

i didn't meet my dad till i was 30 and it didn't hurt me. you need to ask do they need to see there dad if they don't want to? after all your kids are hopefully able to judge for themselves their needs, and anyway this could just be a phase.

Answer 4

Well, it's really their decision.  You can't force them to go; that would be really awkward.

I would try to see WHY they don't want to go.  Is it because it's boring at their dad's house?  Do they not even like their dad?  Is the food bad there?

You didn't provide a lot of information in the question, but find out why they don't want to go to their dad's house.

Answer 5

your question has something missing so its difficult to answer properly.

its always better if children see both parents if they want to , you don't sat why your children do not want to see their father,, does their dad want contact, has he let them down, if not them you should encourage them to see their father, i am sorry i cannot answer too much but like i said your question was not complete.

Answer 6

my parents separated when I was 5. i lived with mum and went to dad on weekends. as i got older, a bit older than your kids, i didn't want to go to dads every weekend because i wanted to hang out with my friends but it upset my dad that i didn't want to go with him.

their dad might need to tell the kids that he really likes spending time with them and misses them when he can't see them (if that's the case). they probably aren't thinking about how the dad feels as they are so young.

i'm so glad now that i kept seeing my dad all the time as we are really close 28 years on.
