I told my H to come up with a schedule of when he wants to see the boys before we tell them so they will know when they will see him. Of course nothing all I got out of him was a few days during the week and Sat night. I said most people do every other weekend. He said Oh I have been working on Sat. SO as usual he expects me to pick up the slack. Not sure if I should stand on principle or do what is better for the boys. I do know that I loathe the idea of them being gone for 3 days a week. I can't stand the idea that I can't just see them whenever I want.
Will your plan change now that school has started? I don't know about your S but mine has tons of homework every night and bedtime is 8:30.
