Babies Don't Need Overnights With Dad

Unpopular opinion: Babies under the age of 12 months should primarily be with the mom and do not need overnight visits with dad. It literally makes no difference for them if they spend X amount of time with dad, because even a few hours a day with dad is sufficient for them at that point of development.
On the Maslow hierarchy of needs, babies only need food, warmth, someone to change them, hold them, and lots of sleep. They don't need overnights with dad on order to develop. 
When they start walking around and forming social connections, then you can start talking about overnights. Even before 12 months, overnights are still fine once in a while, but consistent scheduled overnights are just not necessary. 
What a baby under the age of 12 months primarily needs is it's mother. It needs that skin to skin contact. It needs those mommy pheromones. It does something for their physical, psychological and emotional development that science doesn't fully yet comprehend.
If you are deciding custody for a baby under the age of 12 months, I believe that it's better to allow the baby to primarily stay live mom, with dad getting day visits, and gradually work in overnights with dad on a step-up schedule as the child gets older.

Why I Do Not Have Custody

Disclaimer: As part of my commitment not to disparage the children's father, I will omit and gloss over some facts and details but I will attempt to tell the story as accurately as I possibly can. The events that transpired can only be rationalized as fate because at every turn, a different decision could have changed the entire outcome. I often question why God allowed this to happen, but my faith is strong and I believe that God has a plan that we do not understand. When I filed for divorce in 2015, I asked for full custody with the father having every other weekend, and one night a week. I was conditioned to believe that this was a standard custody arrangement, because this is what society teaches us is the standard custodial arrangement. I was unhappy in the marriage, but divorce was never a serious option. It did cross my mind, but I don't think I would have ever gone through with it. I truly believe that we would have overcame the bumps in our marriage and still be ...

When Walking Away Seems Like An Option

I learned something very interesting from a business coach and I couldn't help compare it to the position non-custodial parents are put in. She said that when people begin to feel insignificant in their job, they begin to feel a lack of motivation to even wake up in the morning. They don't leave jobs because the job is too hard, they leave because the job has left them empty, and it's no longer worth it.  Non-custodial parents are often left with zero obligation (notwithstanding financially) or parental autonomy. Sometimes they can't take their kids to the doctor. Sometimes they can't do anything with their kids without permission or supervision.  In order for people to feel pride in their work, they need to feel like their input matters. They need to feel like their work is productive and fruitful. They need to find meaning in their work.  Giving one parent custody, usually means releasing the other parent of any autonomy or responsibility whatsoever. When you redu...

It is not your imagination. Your children DO act differently with you than they do with their father! I saw this first hand recently when my daughter was hysterical about something. I'm talking full blown meltdown, screaming, and threatening to call her dad. I don't usually respond to these outbursts, but in this case I impulsively hit the call button and handed her the phone. She panicked and quickly ended the call, and went back to being hysterical....but then everything changed when he called back. Within a SECOND her entire demeanor changed from hysterical level 9 drama to completely calm, quiet, and collected. Not a tear in sight!!! "Why did you call?", he asked suspiciously (he hardly speaks to the children when they are with me). "Uhh, I just called to say hi", she said casually.  I sat there in shock with my mouth agape, smacking my forehead with the palm of my hand and internally screaming. I couldn't understand how she went from hysterical, cry...
