I have often wondered whether children of broken relationships appreciate the sacrfices and work involved in being the parent who stays with them. I ask because I am a mother of two, since leaving my ex OH sees them twice a week which usually involves preparing a meal and occasionaly taking them swimming etc it doesn't involve the day to day worries and responsibilites,taxi runs, school functions etc, the childen have a good relationship with their father and myself but in the long term will they value the input as being equal? has anyone been in this situation and been suprised or disapointed by their children.
