Well, having come from a divorced family, which even after all these years can be strange because my sister pretty much left one half of the family to live near our father, while I stayed close to my mother's side and the full extended family; it can definitely be difficult. But I stand by my suggestion. No matter what, your parents will ALWAYS be older than you. (You can't catch up to them). Therefor, they will always have MORE experiences in their lives than you. Not necessarily better or worse, but definitely more. YOU are their common denominator. It is there job to be the parent, and in this case support you. I am positive that both of them want to be. And I'm sure that separately, they are both really good parents. But they need to be mature and deal with this. You shouldn't be caught in the middle of it.
Lilly, while I'm positive you don't mean anything negative towards my first post, this too is coming from someone who lives in the real world of human relationships and the emotionally charged atmosphere of divorce. And as always, it is just my opinion, perspective, and $0.0238532 (Inflation). And if the parents want to split parent weekends, one do "A-Day" and the other "Parent's Weekend", or any other variation; then let THEM decide between the two of them and don't make Roman get stuck in the middle of it. And if the parents can't be Mature enough to make that decision between themselves, then there's nothing wrong with being tough on the parents and tell them: "Fine, here's the dates. I really hope at least one of you can show up". I know that sounds tough, but as adults we make tough choices. And unfortunately, Roman might have to make one here. And one possibility is making his parents become responsible by making a choice. Better them, than Roman making the choice. I know what it's like to have to make a choice between parents as a child. I don't wish that on any son/daughter. Again, just my opinion. Mike.....
