Schedules?
I just posted about BM asking us to keep SS6 an extra weekend each month, and it got me to thinking about children and schedules.
Right now our schedule is M-F from 3:30-8:30 and 2nd/4th/5th weekends. But, SS6 doesn't really have "friends" in the kids that come over to play sense. I'm starting to wonder when the day might be that he won't want to spend so much time with us.
This is a ridiculous schedule to expect an older child to keep. But when would he start to want to branch out? I was playing with my friends largely on our own in town by 10. But, SS is delayed socially, so he may take longer than that...
I am so eager for SS to become a more independent person! I know very little about children, but it just feels like SS is so far away from that point. When do kids typically get to the play outside and entertain friends point?

I know! It's just always been this way, they divorced when he was 2 and BM didn't want to deal with having a kid, so DH stepped up. Next thing we know we have the world's most insane schedule.
So in essence, she gets him
So in essence, she gets him at bedtime and 1 weekend a month.Why does she bother... I hope your husband isn't paying her any support.
Poor kid. Maybe you can get him into some T-ball or pop warner football. That will get him out with other kids
My younger ss is 8 and he has
My younger ss is 8 and he has a friend or two he plays with in our neighborhood. I would think once they reach schoolage, if there are kids that live nearby, they will want to play w/them.
Man that sounds lovely. Light
Man that sounds lovely. Light at the end of the tunnel!
I expect things to continue this way for a few more years, it's just really good to hear that progress can be made.
