Alternative weekends suggestions!

Just after some suggestions/inspirations for custody around alternate weekends.
Ex currently has DS1 2 nights and 3 days a week 💔. He's been making all kinds of threats since we disagreed about weekends. Just wondered what people tend to agree when working with alternate weekends during the week? I know it depends on work but I'm just after some inspiration!

What's the disagreement. Some families go from school Friday until school on Monday. As the weekend. We started with Friday teatime/evening as nrp was working. until Sunday evening. But this got messed about so much with his 'work' that it went to Saturday morning to Sunday evening.

It's a really long story, but basically we had a childcare routine in place where we each had DS1 1 day at a time during the weekend and then set nights during the week but he wanted to change it all so only he could have a full weekend and it really disrupted our weekday schedule meaning my son would be in a crazy routine which I was unhappy with.
He's got a new job now however and he'll work alternate weekends so I'm hoping to change our schedule. I think he'll kick off though that it means he has a block without seeing him so I'm not really sure what to suggest without my son being here one night and there the next!

How old is your son. And do you live near to each other. What is he proposing.

Alt weekends works well for most. So you can make your own plans. Usually with one night in the week for the nrp. It has to work for all of you but ultimately your son first and foremost.
