CTH, on another note, if it comes to D then please demand 50/50 custody. I presume you live near each other so it won't be a major inconvenience. Like you said, your schedule is flexible so you will be able to adjust easily. One note of warning though.......don't be TOO flexible! It will only enable your W to walk over you. Trust me on this!
Yes. More and more I'm moving that direction. First off, I'm already being asked to take them additional nights because of her job. I just don't want it to be a fight when I do ask for 50/50. She's barely making it with my child support. In a 50/50 split, that number would fall dramatically.
She already walks all over me because of my schedule. I'm first to stay home if they are sick, first to take them to the doctor, etc.
I'm stuck on this one. Two weeks ago, D10 was sick so I stayed with her on Wednesday. I could not stay home on Thursday -- too much work. So what does W do. She leaves D10 home alone. Says she's 10, she'll be fine. I ended up driving home three times to check on her.
Some day she will realize what her blind obsession with work has done to her family. The kids realize they are lower on the priority list than her job.
