daughter refuses to stay at dads when i am working

I am now divorced , it was amicable , we sold the FMH and both bought new houses. We have 3 children , the 2 older ones live in different cities and our daughter {15}stays with me with the occasional overnight at her dads , he has a lot of contact with her but she prefers to sleep in her own bed.My dilemma is this my job has changed so I now have to work 2 nights per month my daughter is refusing to stay overnight at her dads house, she wants him to stay at ours neither he or I want this, he has said he will take her to school in the morning but she is adamant that she wont go, there is no reason for her not to stay with him as she does if I''m out at the weekend, he lives alone and is a good dad, advice please as I have to work these 2 nights

Welcome to wiki.

personally I would be telling child tough. I am the parent I have to work and and you have no choice but to stay at dads.

Is your daughter responsible enough to stay on her own?

If she isn''t then tough she goes to dad''s. If she is, try it. Either she will enjoy being treated like an adult or she''ll be so lonely she will volunteer to go to dad''s.

It''s great that things are amicable between you and your ex, so standing firm and saying she has to go to his place for the weekend should work. Not unreasonable at all! I''m going to have to brace myself for the teenage years - I''m sure I''ve got this sort of stuff coming my way
