My husband works 2nd shift 2-10p.m. He wants our children
either 10:30 pm Friday night or 4:30 am Saturday morning (I
start work at 5am on weekends). I find it hard to beleive the guardian en litem agreed with this.

There has to be more because just from this I wouldn't understand why you think it is bad.

If you start work at 5am on weekends, don't you have to arrange for their care early anyway? If he got them before work on Friday, he would have to have them stay with a sitter until he got off work, and wouldn't it be better for them to be with you? Just trying to throw a few thoughts out there. He has a right to parenting time, and they have a right to be with him, but he also has to work to continue helping support them. Everyone has to adapt to this change. Be thankful that he wants to spend time with them and figure out how to make it work.

the ages are 9 and 12. I just thought the times were odd.
yes, I am greatful for him wanting to spend time with the children. I am hoping a more reasonable time can be worked out.

Given both you and your stbx's schedules, you simply aren't going to get a reasonable time.
Since it is a week-end, I would have him pick up the kids at 10:30 pm, this way they can sleep in in the morning. It's harder to go back to sleep when you are woken up at 4:30 in the morning than it is going to bed late.

I agree with Jada. And at 9 and 12, staying up until 10:30 on a Fri night is not a big deal. If they were 2 and 4, it might be a different story. Think of the fun Friday nights you could have waiting for Dad. Make it game night, or movie and popcorn night. Then they'll leave you happy.
