How old does a child have to be to decide whether they visit their dad?
When I was about 10, I used to visit my Mum every weekend. There were times however when I didn’t want to go. I was young then and found it difficult to explain to my Dad why I didn’t want to go. The true reason I didn’t want to go is simply that on some weekends I wanted the time to go out with my friends on bike rides and playing in the park and getting up to adventures as young kids do. It didn’t mean I wanted to give up visiting my Mum altogether, I just wanted some ‘me’ time I suppose. This might be a reason for your kids not wanting to spend so much time with their auntie, 3 weeks is a long time for a kid to be away from friends.
