Custody schedule question - dad who usually has kids full time

10h ago·1 min read

So I have my two kids most of the time and their mom gets them every other weekend. Works fine usually but shes been asking to switch to weekdays sometimes because her new job has her traveling on weekends now. I'm not trying to be difficult but that would mess up their school routine and I work from home so I can be here for them. How do I say no without being the bad guy? Or should I be more flexible?

Man, I'd love to have that kind of consistency. With my three split between two homes it's a constant juggling act. But if it works and both parents are happy with the arrangement, that's what matters most.

Every other weekend is pretty standard and sounds like you've found your rhythm with it. The key is keeping communication open with their mom so if something needs to change, you can adapt. Sounds like you've got the right mindset about it.

That's a solid schedule if it's working for everyone. How long have you had this arrangement? I'm curious if you've had to adjust anything as the kids got older or if their mom ever asked for more time.
