Miss communication during custodial talks so it turns out that we don't have an agreement.

Let me ask....wife thinks 'stability' of the kids is very important. I agree. However, she thinks that means she needs to be the one who takes them to school everday which leaves me with only the weekends.

I contend that yes, it would be disruptive a little bit if both of us took them to school on some new set schedule. However, I think they would soon adapt and it wouldn't be an issue. I am shooting for 50/50 and am thinking I stay in the house 4 days, then she stays in the house 4 days. I would argue any disruption caused by who takes the kids to school would be offset/less than, having the kids move from house to house.

That does add another layer of complication as each week 'our days in the house' would change as well. But it seems the best of both worlds, both get 50/50 physical custody, we both get to participate in the kids areas of life (weekends plus school), and if either one of us takes only weekends, obviously that would get interuppted as the other parent would schedule random stuff for various weekends and the 'weekend only' parent would lose some time.

Maybe what I propose is impossible? Maybe my wife's agenda is different besides just the consideration for the kids?

Any thoughts?
