[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two weeks is reasonable for older kids. You’ll want the extra time if you decide to take teenagers abroad. Non-consecutive until age 10 or 12 is also reasonable. One thing to consider is if you are alternating weeks in the summer, you don’t want your kids with the other parent for three weeks straight (vacation 1, vacation 2, regular schedule), so put language in there that the non-vacationing parent gets week 3, and the pattern resets from there.[/quote] Waiting to allow Dad to have visits till 10-12 screams you are trying to cut the other parent out as kids need time to have an equal bond with their other parent and by only having them see their other parent a few times a month is not bonding and by the time the kids hit 10-12 you will scream they have friends, activities, etc. and they don't have time to see dad for more than an hour or two a few times a month.[/quote] Reading comprehension isn’t your strength, is it?[/quote]
