Custody schedule is making me miss so much

I have my kids every other weekend and one night a week. That sounds okay on paper but I'm missing a lot of their stuff. School plays, soccer games, dentist appointments. The mom handles all that during the week. It's hard not being there for the everyday stuff and I feel like I'm just the weekend fun guy instead of actually parenting. Anyone else dealing with this and how do you handle it?

Yeah that schedule is tough. I feel this in my bones. The one night during the week helps but it's not the same as being there regularly. Some co-parents are flexible about squeezing in extra time if the situation allows.
This is the hardest part of co-parenting honestly. You're doing the nights and weekends but missing the everyday dad stuff. That's the real loss that nobody warns you about.
