Hi, I'm working on a parenting plan and I broke down my proposal for Christmas holidays as such:
The Christmas holiday period will be divided into two parts: Week 1, and Week 2.
Week 1 will be the first part of the holiday, and will include Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Week 1 will be with the father in even numbered years and with the mother in odd numbered years.
Week 2 is the second part of the holiday, and will include Boxing Day from 9 am, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Week 2 will be with the mother in even numbered years and with the father in odd numbered years.
I am not really fussy about other holidays, I would prefer slightly actually breaking long weekends into two, like a Fri-Sat and Sun-Mon split but I'm totally open to her suggestion. I've worded it so:
"I am open to .....’s input for Thanksgiving, Easter, May 24 weekends either broken into half with both parents or alternating yearly, or any other proposal."
Last March break the children were with me as she went away for about nine days, so I gave her 2013's March Break. Once again, I have no strong feelings either way, preferring slightly a splitting of time between both parents.
Questions:
Is this a bad idea to not be so specific in my plan?
How should I word it to be flexible based on other parent's input?
