Are you the 27 year old woman from New Orleans looking for a match on match.com?
This needs to be addressed, jsquardjj...

My current situation is good. My son doesn't start school until fall. His mother works nights mostly, I work days.
My days off I get him all day/night. Resulting in close to 72 straight hours. Then I keep him most nights but usually get 2 nights a week to myself. One typically being Fri or Sat.
It sounds confusing, and can be. But I rarely go more than 48 hours without him. And as a single parent this is about the best case scenario.

Kid has to have consistency in schedule for at least a week.
We (I'm the stepdad) have every Monday to Wed night. His dad has him Thursday to Sunday night on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th weekends and we have 2nd and 5th weekends (the dad just has Thursday night on those cases).
From a school work standpoint it's best to have the same thing week in and week out IMO. Keep in mind for us this schedule started when son was 3 and he's now 9, so we are used to this and likely won't change.

Most fathers (when everything is looked as being equal in the household and wat of life) get every other weekend and Wednesday evenings for a few hours. Sure they may also get a week or 2 in the summer and some extra time around holidays but even then it normally has to coincide with the mothers life , plans , vacation , etc.
Unless there are special circumstances (like father being a complete loser), in Louisiana, time with the child won't vary much off 50/50...maybe 10 or so more days a year.

it will get better over time, but it's agonizing, no matter what the ex does or tries to do take the high road with the kid(s)
This is important. My wife and I never say anything derogatory about her ex in front of our son.

I have nothing but respect for my ex. She is the mother of my son. I would never utter a bad word. She is crazy, but I keep that to myself..

I'm glad I didn't impulsively post my first thought, which was "At least you can take comfort in the fact that when your daughter is with the ex it means she isn't whoring around town".
I'll be visiting New Orleans in two weeks, if you don't have the kid then hit me up. You can show me around town or we could just play naked twister for 72 hours.

It is good to have same thing week in and week out. Yes.
Your sched is legit man if its all working out. I am by no means an expert.
I just know what seems to work for us and a lot of folks. Actually, its not us... Its the kid. What works best for kid.
I think that there is also a genetic component. For instance, if i had to go back and forth every three or 4 or 5 days, by 10 or so i'd be looking to hurt someone. I'd definitely have add and be a wreck. But thats me. That need for stability runs in family. Have to have a place to chill for at least a week at a time. My daughter is same way.
I think that genetically other kids maybe can tolerate something different in an easier way. I think its disposition, and your genetic thought patterns. I think a born to be physicist will hurt someone if they have to move every three days. I think a born to be stock broker wont give a shite. Even at, say, 5. This is just a theory. Could be wrong.
