[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Troll harder, dude. You were believable at first, but you’ve taken the delusional male entitlement too far. Everyone knows that 50/50 doesn’t mean one parent gets all the most convenient, fun times and the other parent gets all the inconvenience and the lion’s share of the grunt work.[/quote]

I would argue that having weekends and breaks is way more work than if my wife got school days. She would only be doing a tiny amount of time in the morning and a couple hours after extracurriculars in the evening. Weekends would easily be 12 hours per day, so I would be giving her a longer break than what I would get and would actually be the one doing the grunt work. Not trolling, just being rational.

If you are smart, you should know that humans are both emotional and rational.  If your time proposal appears to advantage you, the person who initiated the divorce, that is likely to be emotionally unacceptable and likely will not be the final outcome of your negotiations.

Your wife may prefer weekend stretches of custody time.  Children often get a bit tired and cranky on weekdays because they are growing and a lot are overscheduled.  In addition, many fun, social activities for children only occur on weekends.[/quote]

Not having the kids on any weekends will be unpleasant for the wife, because she likes some time with the kids. It will also mean she doesn't see a lot of their games and other activities, and she is isolated from her parent friends because she doesn't see them as much. And of course, dads like this do a bad job with setting up playdates and accepting invites (or even responding to invites) so the kids will suffer socially. [/quote]
