Mother’s and Father’s Day for Divorced Parents

Most divorced parents are content to agree that their child should spend Father’s Day with their Father and Mother’s Day with their mother; even if you don’t get on with your ex, you should be allowing your child to celebrate with them! Here are a few tips for days such as these:

1. Talk to your child about the upcoming day and get them excited about Father’s/Mother’s day! Children should be happy on these days, it’s a day of celebration and appreciation for their mother/father.
2. Don’t tell your child that “Mummy/Daddy are going to miss you” when they leave with the other parent, as this could make them feel guilty about leaving.
3. Take your child to buy their other parent a present or card, put your private feelings aside because this is teaching your children how to be caring and respectful.  
4. Lastly, make some plans for yourself on that day so that you’re not feeling lonely or down.
