Why can’t you change your custody schedule, then? [/quote]

[b]It doesn't make sense for me to be the one to change.  [/b] My ex lives almost 45 minutes away,  so the logistics of working out new schedules for my kids is much more difficult. I already had to  move to my DH's neighborhood because his ex refused to allow his kids to switch schools, which I was willing to do since my oldest hadn't yet started school.  [/quote]

Who cares what makes sense or that is much more difficult for you.  If it matters for you, you go through the "hardship" to make it work.

Do you hear yourself?  His ex "refused" to let the older kids switch schools but you were the cool one who could move.  This is was simply a consequence of the fact that her kids are older and yours younger, not that you're a better person who was willing to move.  If you can't realize that not having the older kids switch schools when their lives were otherwise upended was a GOOD move, you don't have those kids' best interests at heart in the least.

You need a major attitude shift if you want this blended family to have a remote chance of working out. [/quote]
