Hi No1phD,

I have 2 girls at home with me. Most mothers can't believe it. But I think some of your comments are right ...
Having them in their original home is important for consistency and familiarity.
Also I feel your pain ... my girls are with their mother for 2 nights, first time since our split. I miss them so much and it's only been 3 hours!
I agree with others ... if you can't have them full-time you must negotiate to have your boys at least once a week.

Keep strong. And stand up for yourself. Although men and women are supposed to be equal, it seems to be given that the woman gets the kids as a norm. But having your kids as a man should be a right, if you're a good person.
