as its nice for me to get a bit of a break. However he always dictates to me when he wants to see her depending on what he has planned. Last time he was back he had her for 6 nights, then I had her back for a week while he went on holiday, then he had her again. I reluctantly agreed to this as I just think whole weeks away is too much considering she doesnt really know him. I said next time he is back he can have exactly the same amount of time but just split it up a bit more. Last time he had her for a week he told me he wasnt having her again as it was stressing him out then he text me a week later saying hed changed his mind. He is due back in November now saying he wants to do exactly the same. A. Hi there It must be difficult for him to be so far away from his daughter and the very thought of being with her must make him want to say that he wants contact for the whole week! This is only natural and a good sign. The fact that he may get stressed after a few days is relevant but perhaps a better way of dealing with it would be to say 'Yes of course you may see her as much as you want and I am only a phone call away if things get difficult'.
