My opinion..... bad idea....

Write down a parenting plan you are comfortable with. Ie
Mondays: I will pick up kids from school and visit with them at my parents house with my parents present (to ease fears of doing something stupid with kids around) and return kids to you at 7pm
Tuesdays: I will not see kids at all
Wednesdays: I will pick up kids at 8am and have breakfast with them at the school playground and leave them at school.
Thursdays: I will not see kids at all
Fridays: I will pick up kids from school, and we will spend the night at my sister's house and always be in her presence
Saturdays: I will return kids to you at 9am
Sundays: I will not see kids at all

THIS IS JUST A RANDOM EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!!
There is no need for communication with your wife if you have this in place. This is not just for one week. This is NOT an open invite for your wife to decide day by day if you get to see the kids.

Thank you.

I am going to choose to be happy. I am going to put an almighty effort letting things slide (I've been doing this already actually), choosing my 'battles', and changing my attitude (even if it is only expressed non verbally now) towards my wife. Thank you for this perspective.

Edit: Hi toots,

I just saw your message. I think I know what I'm going to do now. I am going to wait until tomorrow (nearer to the start of the school week) and then text W about making arrangements for the week with regards to when I see/have the kids, even if that means in the short term having to fit in with her (part time) work schedule.
