[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you actually want 50/50, OP? If you're having this much trouble managing your job plus the basic logistics of divorce, can you really do 50% of all kid hassles, kid appointments, kid homework management, kid activities, etc? She won't be the lead parent anymore-- you'll have to pull your weight and not follow her lead and have her as backup so much.

It's all too common for men to claim to want 50/50 because that's socially acceptable or it minimizes their child support payment, but then they don't actually want it and don't actually do it. Really ask yourself how this is going to work with your job, and remember, she can keep track of all the times you don't use your parenting days and use that to get more child support.[/quote]

50% is totally doable and I don't know why everyone is convinced that I don't want it or can't make it work. If I get long weekends, most other weekends, breaks during the school year, and the beginning and end of summer break plus weekends in the summer, that is very close to 50% and might even be more. It isn't a big deal to make that fit around my job. [/quote]

You just think they will basically slide into the schedule you are used to.

And your wife will take on any and all unexpected  sicknesses.

That is down right laughable.

First of all, the summer school break is ten weeks long. You have commuted to less than 3.

What if they are up all night with a fever or throwing up, and she scheduled an important presentation or work trip, because it is when you have the kids.

You are absolutely demonstrating that you have done little to no parenting up to now. You are in for a very rude awakening. [/quote]
