Yes, you're exactly right. My C and L think so too. LO, he did ask for primary custody when he filed the D paperwork. We go to mediation soon and then I guess I'll find out what he is thinking now. I do think he wants just the money, b/c if you look at his actions. He also has never taken care of them very much, lucky to see them 10 hours a week, so I think it would be way more difficult than he thinks if he is thinking still about that. He does criticize me often, never a kind word about my parenting, I think he feels he is a better parent but of course it's easier to parent one day or half a day than the other parent who does the rest! I don't think he would actually have primary custody for very long, the OW would have a fit, so I think that would be funny, and it might be good for H to realize what it's really like full-time parenting, but of course it's not good for the kids and trying to keep things consistent. Yoyo, you're right I need to start documenting how much time he spends. And he has unlimited access whenever he wants so it does show I think where his priorities are (and aren't).
