Co parenting
Can i have some advice/opinions on my “co parenting” position please.
I have two toddlers who only see their father and the grandparents on that side every other weekend. Saturday 10am until Sunday 11am/12pm I dont feel like this is good enough, especially from the grandparents(their dad lives there).
So my situation is my childrens father sexually assaulted me so I have a non molestation order meaning no contact between me and him, contact is made between myself and his parents but they dont ever ever ever ask about the children until the Friday before they come to pick them up. Sometimes I dont hear anything until a few hours before they want to pick them up.
I get with myself not having the contact with him it can be a lot for the grandparents to take on that responsibility but I feel like only wanting to see your children/grandchildren twice a month is awful!
I give them every opportunity to see the children and have made it 100% clear to them I wont stop any of them having contact with my children but it just seems as though they do not care
First maybe just asked if they do want to spend more time with the kids and if the answer is no the answer is no and if it's yes then great and organise a new schedule But with that possibility that they don't, it can be hard to understand why someone wouldn't want more time because we as mums we could never imagine feeling that way if we were in their position, but to help with that hopefully I use to tell myself I would never want my daughter to be around people who don't want her because then she wouldn't be cared for properly and that made me personally feel better because it made me feel like thats what becomes best for her. Really bad example but if someone didn't want a plant and then someone gifted them a plant they most likely aren't gonna look after that plant So if the grandparents or father don't want more time even if it doesn't make sense or is hard don't force or push anything because that's all they are capable of and we want kids in capable hands xxx
