Fun and Games: Co-Parenting and Extracurricular Activities

While our custody schedule has resulted in a lot less headaches since it was implemented, it does mean that I have the children on different days every week.  

My ex works a blue collar job - and has to do shift work.  That means he's on a rotating shift schedule of 12 hour day and night shifts.  This contrasts of course with my nine to five.  Ideally, the schedule would be based on my schedule, meaning I would get to spend my non-work days (weekends) with the children.  Unfortunately, in order to make everything "equal", the arbitrator chose to base the schedule on his schedule - and instead, he has the children every day he has off.  So the children are with me Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and then Wednesday, Thursday rotating every two weeks.
