Hi everyone
I know there are a ton of posts on holiday schedules, but I'm doing an excel spreadsheet with every year laid out until 2023 when the kids are all 18 and outlining every day/time exchange so as not to leave any room hopefully for misinterpretation.
Currently we do 50/50...week on /week off and exchange our kids at 4pm on Sundays. I am not looking to switch this.
The current thoughts/premise with what we have been working on are that the holidays are based on the kids...having to bounce for just a day or two at each parents isn't fair when we do have 50/50...so trying to reduce the transition time as much as possible. One week we take into account is Christmas day @ 4pm - New Years day @ 4pm. (dad gets this even years, mom on odd years).
So is our schedule for last year, and this year;
2011 (odd year)
Sun Dec 18 @ 4pm - Sun Dec 25 @ 4pm with dad
Sun Dec 25 @ 4pm -Sun Jan 1 @ 4pm with mom
Sun Jan 1 @ 4pm - Sun Jan 8 @ 4pm with dad
2012 (even year)
Sun Dec 9 @ 4pm-Sun Dec 16 @ 4pm with dad
Sunday Dec. 16 @ 4pm - Tuesday Dec. 25th @ 4pm with mom
Tues Dec 25th @ 4pm - Tue Jan 1 @ 4pm with dad
Tue Jan 1 @ 4pm - Sun Jan 6 @ 4pm with mom
Sun Jan 7 @ 4pm -Sun Jan 13 @ 4pm wtih dad
How do we keep this as simple (as similiar to up above) without adding in crazy transition days with 1 day here, 1 day there...but still try to keep the 1 week being from Christmas Day @ 4 until New Years Day @ 4 with one parent. Going forward how would you handle it if Christmas day was on a Friday say ? Thanks for your thoughts...
