I have 2 children, one with my very recent ex from the past 6 years, and one with my ex husband.
My ex (firefighter) and I have a 2 year old, and my ex lives 45 min away from me
My ex husband and I have a 10 year old, he lives across the street from me
I want both fathers to see the boys...but our schedule is ridiculous bc of the schedule of my firefighter ex.
His schedule dictates everything frankly...mine, my 10 year old sons, the 10 year olds bonding time with his 2 year old brother, even my ex husbands schedule is dictated by it all, my work schedule, the gym schedule, the 2 year olds nap schedule, his daycare schedule, the 10 year olds sports and extracurricular schedule...it is crazy around my house - the boys are never together on the same nights, or weekend days, there is WAY too much driving involved and time in the car for a 2 year old - and it's not fair to have the 10 year old drive all the way across town to drop or pick up the 2 year old - it's so tough.
My firefighter ex works 48 on and 36 off. But the problem is that the schedule ALWAYS changes - it rotates obviously and leave zero room for scheduling really anything. I cant expect my 10 year old not to have a consistent schedule, or the 2 year old. I also dont want the 2 year old to be away from his home, the 10 year old or me for 3 days straight at such a young age.
Any suggestions?
