Quick Question about switching trade off days

We are 50/50...one week on then one off. We switch on Mondays after school. My SD13 wants to now switch on Sundays. I am hesitant to do that because I really enjoy having the entire weekend to ourselves especially if go away on a long holiday weekend. Thoughts on this? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

My thought is this...it is

My thought is this...it is NOT up to HER on what day you guys switch off. YOU and DH get to make that call as to whether that is ok and works for YOU. Dont feel like you "have to" do what SD wants either.

If you enjoy your long weekends then so be it....TOUGH SHIT SD!!! Monday's it is!!!

Excellent point Tasha!

It's not her call. 13 year

It's not her call. 13 year old kids shouldn't be making decisions like that.

I agree it is not up to skid.

I agree it is not up to skid. BUT...lol. I can see why she would want to change on Sundays. Maybe make it Sunday at 8:00PM...?

Sundays would make it easier

Sundays would make it easier on her for attending school the next day. But it really is up to you guys, not the kid. What is her reason for wanting to do this?

I have no idea what her

I have no idea what her reason is. It seems to have worked perfectly fine until now. She just takes the bus to the other house so it's really now big deal.

It might be worth asking.

It might be worth asking. Doesn't have a good answer? Well, tough tooties!
