Hi Ghost, you may want to suggest to your W that you share the weekends. Some people have the kids for 4 days and then not for 4 days, so they get some weekends but not others. Please don't feel that you have to fit in with all your W's plans. This is a negotiation and it is perfectly reasonable that you put forward your own views. I also think it is best for the kids if they get to have some weekend time with both parents. SS lived with us every weekend, and we had some lovely weekend times. I do think he longed for some nice weekend time with his Mum too though.
JMHO of course...
