[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, so... 1) They lost their family to divorce and have to constantly shuffle back and forth between houses. 2) Their parents' relationship is tense and their mom is unhappy. 3) They have to share their dad with THREE other kids and no longer get as much time with him. 4) Their dad's new wife wants them to miss out on their preferred activities and force them to spend time with little kids. And YOU'RE complaining that you're not getting a good enough deal? Sorry hon you should have seen this coming. 5) [/quote] This. I get your intentions are good but you failed to understand how this impacts everyone. The older kids will have the hardest time adjusting and you e basically thrown them into the mix without even asking or considering what they want. Additionally, the overlap of custody is probably a bad idea. You have to ease them into it, maybe every other weekend there is an overlap but every time they see their father they have to see your kids as well. Too much. For what it's worth my 11yo has a completely separate schedule from my 7yo. The schedules line up so I can swing both but they are rarely sitting around waiting for the other. [/quote]
