Into the Fire (LB55 thread 2)

[LB55]

I am assuming you were living in the house and being dad full time (as much as possible being military) before you were deployed. I hope the courts will take this into account. I also believe you will not be deployed any-more?

As my lawyer said, "it is your to loose". I took this to mean full time dad during your parenting time. Get the house and rooms set-up for the kids. Flexible work schedule. Able to pick the kids up from school, drop them off. Areas set-up for study time.

Yes I lived at home every single day since 2012. That was my last deployment, I have had good fortune in deployments for a while. I had to do this one year stint, and that is likely my last one. I can't control North Korea, but should be. W, kids, and I have always lived under the same roof. Never even had a disagreement that resulted in either of us spending a night or two somewhere else.

I am hopeful to move in Wednesday. My family ponied up for some new beds, super nice of them, even if I had the money and could make it work. Part of the new me is letting others help me sometimes. Have a line on some dressers and a desk for their rooms. I can work my schedule to be flexible enough to get the to and from school. If W will agree to be a little more amicable and friendly in regards to the kids, we can work the schedule fairly easily. She doesn't work and is home most days, so if I have a day where I will need a little extra time at work, I can give her notice in advance and have the kids stay with her until I get home. We will see, just want a good agreement that keeps me in their lives and minds.
