I'd like us to work out what time I will spend with the children over the coming weeks. I'm missing out on their company right now, and we need to review things. Ideally I would like - specify - with them each week.
Whilst this is a difficult time, It's important for the kids to spend time with both of us. If we can agree a plan, it will hopefully benefit all of us. Please could you let me know your thoughts this weekend. Alpha.
Alpha, I'm not experienced on kid stuff, having just been a stepmum. But, I do think your draft sounds placatory, pussyfooting around - and as though you accept your W is 'in charge' on things related to the kids. And please can you have a think about this. I'm very flexible, available at a moment's notice...grovel.....
So, I've suggested a more direct and assertive approach. Please don't go ahead based on my comments though. I'm sure others will chime in.
Hope this helps! Toots....
