Please confirm this calculation with me?!

Because now it depends, with your calculation, whether the weeks he has them in the holidays are always when he would have had them on the weekend.

oh hell - hadn't thought of it like that - so maybe the 137 figure is nearer the mark...

The calendar is a good thing. Issue being he won't consider planning a year in advance so it would be theoretical.

With half terms, you're either tagging time on the end of a normal weekend or adding to it at the beginning of a normal weekend (so I have the kids this weekend, will be keeping them till Wendesday morning then he'll have them through till Sunday which means he actually only gets one extra day with them...where as if it had worked the other way, he'd have had 3 extra days...)

It is complicated, isn't it?!

No...you do not count 7 nights during the holidays as you have already counted 2 of them for the usual fortnightly visits. So for the holidays you just use 5 nights which make it easily fit in the middle of the range.

I would say you have your kids 5 nights a week for 46 weeks = 230 nights
He has them 2 nights a week for 46 weeks plus 7 nights for 6 weeks = 134 nights
Total is 364 nights. 1 more day to make it 365 days in the year can go to anyone.

As another poster has said though....either figure is still within the limits (so to speak!)

My most sincerest apologies for confusing you. my bad !!!;)
