divorced dads: does it work?
For those of you that are divorced dads, I'm just trying to get some perspective on how it "works." Not necessarily the actual mechanics/logistics (although data points are always appreciated), but just a feel for whether or not it is sane/reasonable to expect that a divorced dad can remain tightly integrated in the life/raising of the kid. There always seems to be a question of how much do you suck up "for the sake of the kid", and I've been through a lot of that internal/external discussion but I've had a tough time finding dads who are separated but still engaged. I know a few "one or two weekend a month and the occasional dinner" types, but I'm not willing to go there. At this point we have a fairly amicable setup and I do 3 nights a week. Of course there is the issue of what happens if one or the other wants/needs to move, but...
So anyone been there, done that?
