Dad for a day...
Though separated partners move on with their individual priorities and many a times with a better partner too, the journey that the children started out with both of them comes to a halt. While they often live with the mother, the father may soon seem distant. It is here that things become difficult for ‘weekend fathers’. Though around 54% of working couples in leading metros and cities of the country call themselves ‘weekend parents’, the children are definitely better off with the presence of parents on all days at home.
Possibly, this is one important reason why it is imperative that the ‘weekend father’ takes time out and makes efforts to help his children become secure individuals till they choose their own course in life. For this, the father must be creative. For if the father is bored and the kids disinterested, the weekends may become dreadful instead of delightful. Open communication, even about finer details such as their likes and dislikes as well as their take on the latest events allows one to know them better. It is apparently a tried and tested way of making the most of the little time at hand. Planning the forthcoming weekends to include activities that they look forward to may double the joy without pampering them out of guilt. These activities may range from walking them around in the parks to skating, swimming, and watching movies to introducing them to a new form of music or art. While attending meetings and functions at school are always suggested, helping kids meet new friends and taking them to the father’s side of the family is well-deserved too.
So, if you’re struggling to balance your new life and the old one you left behind by way of your kids, just remember, how difficult it must be for the children who are left with nothing but some precious weekends with their father.
