I agree but H's schedule prohibits us making a commitment to "equal time" on a regular basis and I question if the whole 50/50 thing doesn't treat them more as an object. I mean my kids have been with me 90/10 most their lives so consistency would be sticking with that. We can't split them in half. Still, I would like them to have more time if possible.
Anyway, I think the schedule is a good idea in general.
AK, my H has a very unpredictable schedule too. I am trying keep the Tues/Thurs. sched, but there are always things that come up and this time it was me needing to switch so I wanted to be accomidating about it. I guess as time goes on I will make plans that cannot be changed with working, etc. and he will have to be more responsible and get back up if I cannot pick them up. It is hard. Just like this whole sitch. I am trying to make the kids priority and let them feel good about going to see Daddy. (Yesterday they cried and said the DID NOT want to go to his house!!! and I was very positive with them about going but was secretly thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not exactly the Disneyland that I thought it was!!!!)
