The other day she came to me and said that S8 came to her and wanted to switch with her and I every 2 weeks instead of every week as we do now. I thought it was a case of S8 missing his mother and figuring in his 8 year old mind that if we switch every 2 weeks he will see his mother more. I discussed this with him and told him that it was ok if he wanted to do this but he would also not see his mother for 2 weeks when he was with me. He then decided that 1 week as it is now would be better. (The kids see me almost every day because I pick them up from school)
So I told W this yesterday and then today she is adiment that switching to 2 weeks is better. She tells me that she has "Spoken to people" and they say that it is better for the kids because it gives them more stability. (nevermind that a month hasn't gone by where she hasn't wanted to change the schedule because she has something to do) She then goes on to say that it wasn't her idea, it was S8s and then she basically contradicts herself by saying that we have to not listen to what they want, we have to do what we think is best because we are the adults so we should do 2 weeks.
I'm wondering if she has some other motive for 2 weeks that she is not saying.
I told her that we can try it but she should be open to the idea that the kids may not like it. Ofcourse not agreeing with her totally has annoyed her and her tone changed completely.
I'm scratching my head a little over this one.
