Bookbag? Check. Lunchbox? Check. Pencils, paper, notebooks, erasers? Check, check, check, and check.
Getting the kids back into the swing of a new school year can be a bit hectic, to say the least. There’s so much to do and buy before the first bell even rings. Then comes the dreaded return to the academic routine – no more staying up late, no more sleeping in, and lots of homework and extracurricular activities to juggle in the evening.
For divorced parents, the back-to-school to-do list can be much more complicated than simply buying supplies or keeping up with class schedules – Who pays for those new sneakers? How do we handle teacher conferences? Should we readjust the custody arrangement? What if my routine isn’t reinforced by my former spouse?
Unfortunately, there isn’t one right solution to any of the questions you may be asking yourself. But, as always, the answer should basically be the same – do what’s best for your child.
While that will depend on the specific circumstances surrounding your divorce, there are some guiding principles to help you make good (if not always easy) choices… and with the least amount of conflict.
