I am 100% sure the kids will be just fine. My concern is with how my W will react. In this case I feel I need to be thinking about how this will play out and take my W's reaction into consideration.

As Eric mentioned, having the kids away from either parent for 10 days is not good for them. When I see them on Friday it will have been 12 days since they were with me. Not good.

By sharing time with them equally my kids would never go without seeing the other parent for any more than 7 days. That is still a lot of time but it's much better than 12.

Down the road, if my W and I can get on track with each other, I'd hope we can do things together with the kids during the week so the kids don't ever go without seeing the other parent for more than a few days.
