Hoozh -
some different perspective. I asked for 50/50 time with my kids and her response to me was "it's not good for their stability."

This to me is complete nonsense, because stability means a stable family with parents that work things out. But she is actually arguing that it is more stable for the kids if there are fewer "transitions", which means fewer times visiting me, which means less time with me.

So it is almost like I am the guy on the other side from you.

I want my kids but will not turn them into a tug-o-war rope. I will not.
