If divorced, how are you and your ex about sharing the kids?

Do you go strictly by the visitation schedule or are you more laid back in who has the kids and when they have them?

Because of our work schedule we stick to the agreement for the most part. If things come up so far we have both been flexible.

That is how we are.  We stick pretty close to the every other weekend thing...but if one of the kids doesn't want to go to Daddy's...or wants to come home...that option is always available.  And it happens fairly often, although MUCH less now than at first.  And during the week, if he wants them for dinner or whatever, I am good with that, too.  There have been a few times one of them spent the night with him on a school night, just for the one on one time, too.  We both really really try to make this part of the divorce a non-issue.  I am very grateful for that, as my sister's ex is U-G-L-Y about "his time" vs. "her time", which makes it hard for everyone involved, most especially their daughter.

He gets the boys every other Saturday night. He works every Saturday morning so it's not worth it for them to go stay Friday night and come home Saturday morning and go back Saturday afternoon. We are very laid back, though, because there are times during the week or on my weekend that they all want to see each other. He'll come and pick them up and take them out for a ride or a treat. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have to leave by 7am for school, so I drop them off and he takes them to school and daycare on those days. Every other Thursday I work at the domestic violence center so he picks them up from daycare until I am done working.

We stick to the every other weekend but we are also very laid back about when they go.  If he has off and they don't have school and I work then he will take them.  It is just a matter of us getting along and understanding that things happen.  We try and work it out the best we can.  A lot of people tell me I have the weirdest divorce because we get along so great.  But I wouldn't want to have the fighing and neither would he.
