He may have them part of the day and her in the afternoon. I think it has alot to do with your relationship with your ex. If your husband is not willing to give up his visitation there is nothing you can do. You might want to give your child a birthday party before he goes or when he returns he then will have to and thats always fun for them gives him something to look forward to when he gets home.
