I didn't say it was logical, I just said it was "Real". I do work. She does not. It may not be a good reason for custody, and it hopefully does not predict the future, but it IS a fact.
The rest of her arguments are either fiction, are based purely on her own emotions, or are just attempts to discredit me without any bearing on what's best for the kids. - "I could NEVER be away from my kids for more than a few days at a time" - "I'm their mom!" - "You are just doing this to punish me because I don't want to be married to you" - "You are just doing this because you want to pay less child support" - "You are just doing this because you are selfish and can only think about yourself"
etc etc bla bla bla
You are right. I went into mediation without any real hope of anything but a deadlock.
I heard every one of these word for word. Part of the script. Don't even engage. Let your lawyer do the work. You be you. It's unfortunate, but this looks and sounds just like mine. You'll be fine. Don't you dare let the mediator talk you into less than 50/50. The settlement you get is the one you have to live with. Fight for what you want. Forget about her emotions and what she wants. When it comes to the kids, I'm sorry, the gloves have to come off. You can still fight for that with Strength and Honor.
