Custody is not always a simple arrangement. Sure, you might have agreed to certain days with a certain parent, but kids have different needs. They might have extracurricular activities they have to attend, social obligations, and different desires for where they want to spend the night that particular night. The schedule can become more nebulous and ever-changing, which can present problems for parents trying to work it out between themselves.

You can't always get what you want, and sometimes your kid knows better than you do, and commenters were quick to swoop in and back him up. Read on for the story.
