The point the others are trying to make though, and have done so for at least the entire last thread, is that you are more concerned with everyone getting what they want than worrying about what you want. What that boils down to is allowing your wife to call the shots and you being a doormat. It's honourable to try and work the situation so everyone gets what they want, I do it too much myself, but at some point you need to forget about what your wife wants or thinks is fair and set about getting what you want and think is fair. You have the right motivation as far as your kids are concerned but you appear to be too concerned about what your wife thinks.

"W,

I understand that you would like to settle the house quickly. Our kids are our first priority and I would like to develop a parenting plan with you as soon as possible so the kids are able to spend equal time with us. Please let me know what you need from me in order to make this happen.

Scorp"
