weekend visitation schedule

SusanH.SusanH. member

DH's ex  has 2 kids. One is DH's and the other is her soon to be ex's.

I find it odd that she set up the 2nd ones weekend visitation to be opposite  of my SS's.   So she never has a weekend w/out kids. I kinda understand that maybe she wants one on one time with them, but if she ever wants to go out she has a child. I think I woulda arranged it so they both go to their dads the same weekends.

your thoughts?

    Maybe she thinks she will be lonely without someone there on the weekends.  This way she always has one child there to occupy her time...?

    I imagine she wants the one on one time more than she wants a social life...I would....

    I think it is great.  It allows her to spend one-on-one time with each of her children.  If I were in that situation, I would do the same thing.

    This. It gives her a chance to spend an equal amount of time with each child.

    Hooray for a mom who wants to parent instead of party. 

    Why are you worrying about this?

    I can see why she would do this. Although, I might have scheduled the visitation on the same weekend so that both my kids could spend time together and bond as well. Either way, sounds like she is thinking of her kids first and not herself.

    I wasnt aware that I said I was worried about this.

    I said I found it odd.

    She has both kids five days a week.  Each weekend she has one kid, for one-on-one time, which I think is fantastic and not odd at all.  And if she wants some alone time or a date night, there is something called a babysitter.  :)  Or maybe she would switch a weekend or something if she has understanding exes.

    I think it's great.  I used to do "date days" with my kids.  It was a great time for us to bond without the others interfering.

    And maybe she liked having some one on one time with each kid.

    This sitch doesn't prevent her from getting a babysitter at any time you know.
