But shes kicking off as I can't give her parents set days. She either wants a lot more child maintenance to cover the costs of child care too or me to commit 2 days a week set in stone.
Which just isn't possible with my job!
My rota doesn't change I can give her a year 2 years in advance. I've even said I want her more than two days but it will affect how much money she gets of me.
If you look at my schedule it has same days deliberately some weeks and would be easy for your ex to arrange her childcare etc . it is also easy to the eye and not much of a change. almost like a change every 2 weeks . Its almost same as what you are doing now with a few tweaks.
Also week 3,4,5,6 she would only need to arrange childcare Thursday/Friday week 3 and 4
Monday and Tuesday week 5 and 6.
weeks 2,7 and she would need to sort her own Monday - Friday
weeks 1 and 8 Tuesday - friday
