I'm pretty sure I didn't say that no fathers are good parents. I'm also pretty sure I didn't say that fathers should have only weekends. I'm pretty sure I said "non-custodial parents" for most of what I said.

Right but you're trying to apply it to this law which would make both parents equally custodial parents.

I never said babysitting was parenting, I said babysitting was a night off from parenting.

I am astounded that anybody would consider custody by year. Change the kids' school every single year? Really? Okay junior, for your freshman and junior year you're going to high school "A", but for your sophomore and senior year you're going to high school "B". Yes, astounding. I'm sure someone, somewhere, thinks that would be a good idea for their children.

Yeah, they're called "soldiers." Or really anyone who moves around a lot. The fact that so many people do it, and do it successfully, means I can't see it as valid grounds to prevent a parent from having joint custody.

They said "notions about the mother-child bond". They didn't say what you did. If they didn't mean it to be inflammatory, they would have chosen their words more carefully, and/or said something else. Cali

I obviously read it differently than you did, but I guess only the speaker knows what he meant.

I agree with Cali on the potential problems with relocating youngsters in this scenario. Moving is frequently a high stress situation for families. Add in adapting to a new school and the social pressures finding friends in a strange place and that can cause all sorts of problems.

"Other major sources of stress"
divorce of parents
move to new town or city
being held back in school
serious illness
parent being called to war"
