explicitly said it was hard not having a schedule, knowing where they would be spending each night. (WAW and I both travel extensively. Our custody basically says when I'm working, she gets the kids, and vice versa.) WAW and I coordinate our schedules, but haven't really shared them with the kids. Now that I know, I drew up a calendar for January, and diagrammed when we would each be travelling, and where the kids would be each night. We'll see how that works out.
Jim I think you handled it great. We have to remember our kids are going through a lot of stress too. I know at work I have a hard time concentrating as well. I can imagine kids in school have the same difficulties.
I have also heard knowing the schedule is important to kids.
