Separation schedules

Hey all..... I would like to hear what kind of schedule some of you have worked out for separation regarding the kids. We are doing a 50/50 nesting type of thing. We will each have the kids on alternate weekends (Fri night - Sunday night), but I am perplexed as to how to split the weekdays up.

Thanks!

w/my possible soon to be ex - we are splitting them up every other wk - and i don't care for it - i would rather alternate - 2 days him/3me & vice versa - think it's easier on the kids if they get to see each parent every few days, rather than an entire wk ;(

but...he has hectic work schedule & says my way is to back & forth - hmmmmm...he's thinking w/his job & him being out of town 3 or 4 days here & there, this way is easier & he can stay more focused -

i can tell you - the wks i go w/out them, by the 3rd or 4th day - it starts wearing on me - they are almost 3 & if they were older, i'd probably feel better about it -

oh well - this is life & we don't make all the rules....
