We're lucky on a few fronts 1) living close to each other 2) working on making this best for the kids.

She is pretty hard-lined on this issue. She feels anxious over creating an environment for the kids that doesn't allow them to have a sense of home. She says that she feel like a week with each is too much shuttling around for the kids. I too do not want to create that for them but feel 2 weeks each mitigates her concerns, good for the kids and is a good compromise.

It's one of those things where I want to make a very rationale, benefits based case on. I'm hoping that someone on the board will help me with any pointers, facts that it works etc...things I can use to help me advocate the position without coming off like I'm trying to pick a fight. I really just want the best and think this is a good compromise.
