[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 605083, member: 1514"] Just because a father is or has been on probation doesnt automatically make him unfit to take care of his own kids. Im sure that there are plenty of families where one or both parents have been or are on probation and take wonderful care of their kids. I hope you do get to keep the kids full time (if that is what you want) and that their father will step up to the plate and maybe have joint custody with you even if its not legally that way. I guess what Im trying to say is that it goes basically the way it works in our family. For most of my oldest granddaughter's life the maternal grandmother has been the primary caretaker but my son and us have had her pretty much whenever we wanted before she started school and then it was every other weekend and most holiday's except Mother's Day. She went to another state for almost 2 years when her mother's husband got stationed there which absolutely killed all of us left behind but now that she is back, we have our normal contact back. We get her every other weekend unless they want us to take her on one of their weekends and we have had her quite a bit this summer. I also take her one day each week to gymnastics. At the moment, difficult child, the father of Monkey and Mouse, has Mouse with him most of the time now that he and her mom arent living together. They still consider themselves somewhat of a couple but they are simply living apart. difficult child lives at my house with Mouse and the mom comes over and sees her a few times a week and will sometimes take her with her overnight but she spends most of her time here. Too much time for me sometimes! A toddler is hard on me...lol. I force her daddy to do most stuff for her except I do buy diapers if he is broke. [/QUOTE]
