i see my dad everyother weekend and on his weekends i wanna hang out with my friends because something fun is going on is there a schedule that could let me see my dad but also hang out with my friends also?

This is a really tough situation for you. It would be so much easier if your parents traded houses every second weekend to that you would not be displaced. However, it sounds like your parents are doing what is easiest for them.

Talk to your Dad about your dilemma. He probably works Monday to Friday so the weekend is the only time he can see you. It is hard for him to keep up with what is going on in your life if he only sees you 4 days per month. Try phoning him every day to tell him about your day. Do your friends do something fun every weekend? Could your Dad be the parent to drive you and your friends to wherever you want to hang out? Try to include him in some way as he is already being excluded from your life. Admire him and thank him for trying to be a parent

i don't mean to discourage you, but you need to be really careful how you do it, my dad got jelous, and told me that i went to my friends on saturday, that i could never go back to his house. that was two years ago. i only saw him twice last year. on my brothers birthday, and the day after christmas. exersize ALOT of caution when talking to him

Maybe you should let your friends know which weekend are your Dad's and see if they are able to work around it. My Son goes through the same thing and very rare does his Dad let him see his friends on his weekend. Sometimes my Son is able to have a friend come to his Dad's house for the weekend. Maybe try that?

I can understand where you are coming from. It probably would be acceptable to your Dad for you to pick out a time when you want to do something with your friends and then work it into whatever he wants to do with you.
