[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Second, is there any possibility of changing the custody schedule to switch weeks so his kids are there one week, your kids another, with maybe one overlap day?? [/quote]

His ex refuses to switch custody schedules.   Besides,  we feel very strongly about setting aside time for our marriage apart from the blended family because we've both learned the hard way what happens when kids are prioritized abive the marriage.  [/quote]

I don't get this thinking at all. Parents who have stayed together have kids with them 100% of the time, and yet somehow manage to keep the marriage alive (obviously, as they're still together). That;s just parenthood. If your marriage can't survive normal life, then you don't have much of a marriage. It's not normal to need (or get) every other week without kids so you can prioritize the marriage. Get a babysitter once a month like everyone else.

These kids (his and yours) have already had their time with each parent cut by 50%. Don't rush into cutting it further by making them share that limited time. [/quote]
