This Sunday is Mother\u2019s Day.\u00a0 This is a plea to all separated couples to remember that, however badly their relationship with the mother or father of their child has broken down,\u00a0 it is important to remember them on Mother\u2019s and Father\u2019s Day.\u00a0 That person may have stopped being the love of your life.\u00a0 They may have said or done things to hurt you but they are still the other parent of your child.<\/p>\n
So dads, if you would ordinarily have the children with you on Sunday why not pick up the phone or send a text or email asking mum if she would like to swap days and perhaps see the children for a few hours and politely suggest that should Father\u2019s Day fall on a day you would not be seeing them, that she returns the favour. If for whatever reason that won\u2019t work don\u2019t forget to make sure that mum receives a Mother\u2019s Day card.\u00a0 Don\u2019t assume someone else will think of it.\u00a0\u00a0 If, whatever your feelings for your ex might be, you believe that the children still love their mother then respect and acknowledge that relationship and make sure that she receives a card.\u00a0\u00a0 If the children aren\u2019t going to see their\u00a0 mother on Mother\u2019s Day make sure that they give her a call or Skype her or something.<\/p>\n
However difficult relations between separated parents might be it is amazing how much good will such a gesture can generate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
