Think of this like you would a house negotiation.... you make an offer, they come back with counter offer. You need to send her a parenting plan that you would be comfortable with, tell her to make her "requested" changes and send it back. Negotiate this, not just leave it up to her.

I may need some help with the wording of things. I am now thinking I would like to send her an email. Then at least it is stored more permanently than on a phone etc.

Maybe something like this.

Hello W,

I would like to be able to work out with you when it will be possible to for me to spend some time with the children over the coming weeks, whether that is overnight or spending the day(s) with them each week.

Even though this is difficult for both of us, I hope you agree that it is important for the kids to spend time with both parents where possible. Because of the flexibility of my work I can fit things around your shifts at work if need be. I can also available should they need help getting to/from school on weekdays. If we are able to work out an agreement then hopefully it will benefit all of us. Please let me know when you're ready what your thoughts are about this. Alpha.

What do you think?

EDIT: just saw your message above twinmom. Just absorbing it now.
