My GD is the same age and exactly the same problem her Dad lives a good journey away and now she has friends that she wants to socialise with at weekends she upsets her Dad by saying she has plans for the weekend, he gets cross and upset but she is speaking her mind and trying to be kind but wants to have fun with her friends . It’s a sign they are growing up and I know she loves her Dad but she doesn’t want to spend so much time with him.
It’s hard but this too will pass and when she’s older she’ll realise how important your side of her family is too. You just need to be patient .

Could you see her on another day, close to her birthday?
She is growing up, so she won't probably want to spend so much time with her family.

My son is divorced with two girls 9 and 14 .
Their mum remarried and RBS girls live near and are happy .
The youngest stays with dad every week end but the older daughter now won’t see her dad or us . She says she’s too busy , socially .
It’s her birthday on the 9 th and we’re at a loss as to what to do . She says she has plans and can’t see us .
We’re sad and her dad is distraught at the thought of losing her .
What can we do. ?
