Why all the hate for weekend Dads?
Everywhere I read online about split custody, I see men getting a lot of hate for taking anything less than 50/50. I don't fully understand why, as I feel there are valid reasons to take a 40/60 or 30/70 custody split.
I personally am currently in a 30/70 split due to my odd hour work schedule and lack of support network for childcare. My Ex works "banker hours" and is easily able to have the kids during the week and has family support to help her. Unfortunately I work afternoon shifts and occasional night shifts and simply cant logistically have my kids while I work. As a result I only get my kids 2 overnights a week on my days off. Id like to have them more, but unless Im willing to pay an absolute fortune on a nanny, its not possible for me.
As a result, until my kids are older Im going to be doing 30/70 custody time. I feel very upset by this because everywhere I read online it seems like men who take less than 50/50 are labeled as "bad".
What is your guys opinion on this?
