I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to handle distance between a child and a parent after separation. Obviously custody is one thing but with technology these days, how much communication between child and parent while they're apart is enough? Like FaceTime, messages, snapchat, that kind of thing. If it was your kid, would you be making an effort every day in some form or another?  
Side note, this other parent has been away working and hasn't seen his child in months. Am I wrong to expect an effort made consistently? Am I wrong to think that a 5-10 minute call every couple days isn't enough?

Don’t force it. As your child grows, they will take note of which parent was more involved in their life. Just be there double, care for them double, and don’t guilt/force the other parent to pay attention to their child.

I understand the frustration, been there. My son is older now! And yes they do learn who was and who wasn''t around. However, any contact is better then none. He may be away working alot yo support said child, which sucks but that 5 - 10 min conversation every few days is something!  
 
I pm'd you!
