Is there a reason why you allowed him to pick up your Ds? Is there a set schedule?
I wasn't sure if he was picking them up just because he missed them. If that's the case, then you shouldn't give in. He made his bed, he needs to lie in it.

What about when the kids are pining for more time with H? I've been very flexible with my H because I knew he was going to be traveling a lot. Also, his schedule is such that he can only realistically commit to a couple of days but ends up with more time on the fly. For him, I would like to be a hard-a** but my kids want more of him. I still think it may be better to stick to a schedule for the kids' benefit (predictability) but it is a hard call. Also, sometimes I want the time for myself even if it is last minute. And, I might want him to help me out or cover me if I need it. I wonder if it is best to stick to a schedule in the beginning and be more flexible further down the line if the R is workable.
