It's just so funny that these types of fathers begin to want flexibility only on fun days and only when the child is already verbal and potty trained.  No one ever says to the custodial mom- hey, can I have some flexibility to help you change diapers? or get up at night? or run her to the Dr. appointment? It's always fun that they want. No one ever volunteers to help with the nonfun parts.[/quote]

This, 100x.  Dad has a new family and wants to play Mr. Good Daddy to impress his new wife.  He gets all the fun and happy times.  Mom gets the commute and the homework and whatever scraps of time is left.[/quote]

Sounds like a typical man. Steps in for the easy part. Hands off the heavy parenting to mom.

Ex and I alternate holidays. I prefer for the kids to be with one or the other parent for the full holiday, and not shuttle back and forth. This year my kids and I did Christmas on the 27th. Actually, ex brought the kids to me and he was there while they opened gifts.[/quote]
