When school gets out this year my 9 yr old wants to go live with her dad. her dad lives 1 hour away and that would mean I only would see her every other weekend. She is the only child there and is very spoiled. She has three younger sibblings at my home and is the oldest. She can be very moody and mean sometimes but that doesn't mean I want her to go live with her dad. What should I do?

I assume your children only see their father every other weekend? If so, I say let her go for the summer, at the very least (if he's a good father). I think she'll get a huge benefit out of an extended stay with her father and being the center of attention.

maybe she wants a little space and time with the other parent. Give her that time or she will just resent you in the long run for it. Let her know if anything comes up and she needs to talk to you the phone is always available and you will be there. Always put the children first in a relationship like this. I have a son and even though my ex and I can't stand each other, it all gets put to the side when it comes to the boy.

Let her live with her dad if she wants to. I was forced to live with my dad when I was little when I wanted to live with my mom, and I still resent it.

Let her spend the summer with her dad. If she really likes it, let her stay.

You should do what's right for her.
