Hello, WAW. Is anyone there?

losing (some) access to my kids =

I want equal custody, at least. I'd be happy with full. She wants to have the kids during the school week and for me to have them part of the weekend.

I know that means me becoming disconnected from the teachers, the day-to-day business of raising kids, and really makes me a parental 3rd wheel.

I say no. Go ahead and tell me that I can still be a good dad even with less contact with the kids. To that I respond, "Kids are resilient. They bounce back from divorce." People say that to comfort themselves because they are "doing the best that they can do."

I'm not a weekend dad. It's not in my DNA.
