For those of you with kids involved what does the child sharing schedule look like? W submitted what she thought is a good plan and I responded thanking her for putting something together and that I will review and let her know my thoughts.
My thoughts: First her proposed schedule has a ton of back and forth, three days on three days off with alternating Wednesdays. This to me is way to much back and forth and offers no stability what so ever for the kids. My repsonse back is going to be that I think a one week on one week off schedule would be best for the kids.
Second the proposed schedule has me doing Fridays and Saturdays, doesn't exactly give me any time to socialize on the weekends.
Third the proposed schedule is 100% tailored around her work schedule. It is not my job to accommodate her work schedule on a daily basis. That is something she needs to address with her work if it doesn't work or make other arrangements. if she can't make adjustments at work or with a sitter i.e. the in laws I will happily pick up extra shifts with the kids when she is stuck but am not going to arrange my week around what suits her best.
