I wonder about judges and what goes through their mind..... I feel for you and your family — custody visits are very tough on everyone, but the stress the kids deal with is ridiculous…..

Interesting that the people who impose these revolving door custody schedules never have to actually live like that themselves, isn't it? They'd last a month tops. My kids moved EVERY WEEK. Their father only lives blocks away, but they hated it. But I was assured by 'experts' who got to lay their heads down on the same pillow every night that it was what was best for all concerned, so that was nice. The day is not far off when you kids will be able to choose what they want to do and I can almost guarantee they'll choose the stability. And the parents who burst into flame on occasion. Who could pass up on that? Hmm… what The Planet of Janet said.

We do it in the same town, but I hate the two week periods when they are gone. My ex does make some effort to impose rules and bedtimes, but I am just not good with them away for so long. The first two years we did it, my house became a total pigsty, because I was either not home, or sitting around depressed. I am a bit better now (summer 4), but I still hate it. And we are all stressed all the time. I hate that I just want summer to be over every year. I hear you on the sucky parenting plan.

That makes me glad for my mom, that my dad basically ignored me (except for a brief Saturday afternoon visit every few months) Yeah, it cost me a few thousand in therapy money, but at least I had consistency and predictability!

Anyhoo - hoping your summer gets better... it may be gradual - like from donkey balls to mountain oysters, but hey! at least it would be improvement. =).
