I see and hear of so many parents that talk about only having their kids on certain days, at certain times, certain holidays, etc....
Curious to know how many of you have to do this? It would drive me nuts!
Baby Momma Moto and I have 50/50 and pretty much get the kids when we want them. We are able parent very well together when it comes to time with them and planning.
The norm seems to be fighting with one another about time, and using the kids against each.....and THANK GOD we don't.
Just wondering how many of you guys have to put up with that garbage.....I couldn't do it.

Sunday to Tuesday every week.
It won't always be civil. You will have hiccups. I concede when we have problems and it makes life easier for me.

Back in the day, I had my kids every other weekend for 14 years. We were 150 miles apart and made that trip every other Friday and Sunday. Its easy to say you couldnt or wouldnt do it, but sometimes you do what you have to do. Worked out fine and the kids were better off for it.

I split 50/50, no child support. I dont put up with her [censored], period. We dont use our daughter against one another because it never ends up good for the child.

Same here except I just made it easy and pay for everything....health insurance, child care, phone, groceries, whatever.....it's not worth an argument to me

Growing up I was 50/50 and it was great as a child. Both of my parents were civil and only saw one argument in front of me. I love my wife but God forbid something happened, I would be fighting for 50/50. By the way dad still paid child support.

Fortunately never have had that concern. Kudos to you dudes that make it work. My parents divorced when I was 4, my dad died when I was 25. I saw him about 8 times in those 21 years and far as I know, no child support. I promised myself Id never do that to my kid.
