[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP.  Our children our 6 &10.  We live 10 miles apart.  The issue is that ex h job has him travel so a true 50/50 is not possible.  Like this past week he has been at a convention all week in Las Vegas.  I do not see him giving up his job.  I honestly would not have an issue sharing equal custody with him.  I do not get child support directly.  In lieu of child support he pays for 100% their private school.  I am fortunate not to need any financial support from him.

Giving up my weekends with the kids is just not an option for me.  I don't know what more I can offer.  More time during the week and flexibility with his traveling is out right rejected.  I just don't understand.[/quote]

[b]You don't want to give up time with your kids but don't understand why he wants more time with the kids??[/b]?  You are being selfish.  If you live 10 miles apart, it may be a transportation issue to get the kids to school if the school is even further from your house.  He's probably paying $80K or more for private so are you ok with him taking a lower paying job to be around more and removing the kids from private to public?  No, so find a way to work it out.

Huh??? You clearly have a reading comprehension problem. Please point out where OP doesn’t “understand why he wants more time with the kids.” She’d be fine splitting the school week AND weekends with him. No problem. HE is the one demanding ALL weekends. Basically he’s saying that she should only have the time in the morning and evening while he gets all day Saturdays and Sundays. 
Hell to the no. THAT is being selfish. [/quote]
