Dad's weekend

I have dedicated an entire hub page to my daughter KatieAnne.  I usually talk about the different things we do from day to day, and about the shows we enjoy watching together.  I wanted to write this hub for myself and for any other moms who have to send their kids away for the weekend.  Katie is our youngest and I really am trying to hold on tight, so when her dad comes and gets her for the weekend it is very hard on me.  I am a stay at home mom, so I am doing things with Katie all day.  Most of the time she is the only one I have to talk to until my husband gets home from work, and the older kids from school. She starts kindergarten this year, and I intend on being very active in her school!  The main problem is I hate when she goes for her weekends.

My husband and I will be married 2 years on August 16th.  We combined families.  He has 2 girls and one boy, and I have 2 girls.  Altogether we have a 22-year old, a 20-year old, a 13-year old boy and a13-year old girl, and a 5-year old. They have all experienced divorce, but the great thing is that my husband has always been a wonderful father, and was always with his kids.  Mine weren't so lucky!  They never saw or talked to their father, because he was always to busy, so I had to be mom and dad. It was real hard, but I had never been so close to them as I am now.  Well a year ago, dad felt it was time he got back into their lives, so we worked it out to where he gets every Wednesday for dinner and every other weekend.  The weekends are what kills me!  My 13-year old has it worked out to where she doesn't need to go on the weekends and that's fine because he spent more time with her growing up, but he is just getting used to Katie and her him. Don't get me wrong he is doing a good job, but I just wish she didn't have to sleep some where else on the weekend.

My husband and I finally redid Katie's room into a princess room. We finished it last weekend, and boy does she love. There are some days where I can't get her of it. Well she has cable and a DVD player, a desk filled with books and all of her toys. My one big problem is that when she goes to her dad's house she does not have her own room, and she has to sleep in the living room on a sofa alone. She does have a TV on, but come on it's not her room.  How can she be comfortable?  If there are any moms and dads out there reading this, and you she visitation with your ex's please make sure your child at least has a bed. I just can't wait until Sunday comes, so she will be home, and back in her room safe and sound!

Thanks you guys for listening! I need to get it off my chest.
