60/40 or 70/30 ideas

[sealprincess]

If anyone does 60/40 or 70/30 please could you tell me how you schedule it? All the examples I can find are for one parent doing weekdays while another does weekends or for doing 6 days then 4 days & repeat which feels confusing. Currently on 5225 but hoping to renegotiate as he is not sticking to it, but I don’t want to lose all my weekends with my child. Are there other non-confusing options?

we never gave percentages to it but exh did-

5pm Tuesday evening - 830am Wednesday morning
4pm Friday evening -10am Sunday morning

it worked for us as we lived close by and I worked Tuesday and Saturday evenings. I got Sunday day to do stuff with them.

Eventually he had another baby and switched to Tuesday night and eow.

Oh thank you. I wonder what every other weekend plus one night midweek looks like in percentages

Allowing for the daytime plus over night care I think the top option is 40/60 and bottom option is 30/70

As in you would have the higher percentage

My ex used to do every other weekend except he frequently cancelled one or both days and Wednesday he collected from after school care at 6pm and dropped back to breakfast club at 7.30am. I made him pay for the breakfast club and after school care because he needed it and I didn't. He complained about that too but I made him set up separate account with school club for his care.

So every other weekend and one midweek night could equate to 70/30?

Every other weekend plus one night in the week would be (2x2)+(4x1)=8 nights out of 28 nights. Which is 28.6% of the nights.

My children spend 1 midweek night with their Father, and Friday & Saturday nights alternating, so 4 nights out of 14. That's pretty much 70/30.

Times are from school pick up to drop off the next day for the midweek night (I have the same set up and experience as @caringcarer). For the weekends, it's from school pickup on Friday to 6:00 Sunday evening. My children are primary school age.

Out of interest why are you looking at it as a percentage?

I've always had term time and then holiday schedules. mine split weekends so go Tuesday night overnight then either Friday overnight or sat / sun. Pick up and drop off from school or nursery. 5 nights in 14 so 35%

Holidays have been closer to 50:50 and tend to agree in advance where kids will be altho they are older now so tend to pop by or make changes if the want to see the other parent...

Thanks everyone.
I am not looking at it as a percentage but my ex is.
I wanted more time with our child & felt it would be in their best interests, having done probably 90% of the childcare before the divorce. My ex insisted on 50/50 (
& it wasn’t to avoid paying CMS so I am hoping to renegotiate. If I do I will have to put it in percentage terms as that is how he communicates about it.
I’ve worked out since we split I have done 60%. But it’s been extra nights here & there, not planned. If he asks me to do more I usually say yes because I want to be with my child.
I want to renegotiate to something he might stick to.
So I am looking for ideas of what I might be able to suggest.
Thanks everyone who has shared options.

Every other weekend, Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night.
Plus one weekday night each week.
Plus half of school holidays.
Equals about 40/60 split.

I have W/T on week 1 and W/T/F/S nights week 2 - collection from school on Wednesday and hand over is btn 5:30-6pm on Sunday
