One other thing, my buddy in CT and I talked about the custody thing. He asked if I think I would be the better parent for the boys to be with during the weekend. I thought I would as I am the one who usually takes them to do things (i.e. play baseball, soccer, bike riding, football, etc.). He then asked am I then punishing the kids by only seeing them every other weekend, knowing that she doesn't do those things......

Interesting question....

The other side of it is that it gets me annoyed with how she gets to live the weekends just the way she wants. But then again, it comes down to what's best for the kids isn't it????

What a connundrum.....

I know that I will ultimately need weekends for my own relationships, so maybe I'm being too short sighted. I don't know. Curious to other people's thoughts....
