Hi Mia, I am just looking at this from other angles. Their father is asking for more time with his children. Someday, your children will most likely learn that their father was actively interested in spending more time with them but was not granted permission. There is a much bigger picture here. It's their time/their relationship with their father.

And although you may not agree with his choices, legally, isn't he entitled to even more time than what he is seeking?
