[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its only every other week for 3 days - you can handle it. Like the PPs said, lots of one-on-one time with each child, help them with homework, think of something you would enjoy AND they would enjoy that you can build together long-term that they would look forward to each time they came - if you're introvert maybe - teach them how to play chess or master a certain multi-player RPG or take them hiking/on overnight camping trips. If you're an extrovert - maybe take them to a water park for group swimming lessons or a pick-up soccer game or enroll them in Cub Scouts and become a volunteer.

Anyway whatever you do - this will build the bond between you and the kids. Document how many hours you have them, when your pick-up/drop-off time was, what the ex-wife requested, then take it to court and get a formal petition to have partial custody based on this. The kids shouldn't be tossed out like trash when this is over, they'll want the same time and level of attention from you and you should be able to see them just as much if not more.[/quote]

+1, especially the last part.[/quote]
