Husband wants to separate, wants custody of our 2 babies one week per month

Long story short my husband wants to separate. He works blue collar and wants to travel for work and live in a camper. He says he’ll come home once a month and take the kids for a week as far as a custody agreement. They are currently 4 months and 20 months old. I assume he’ll leave his camper where ever he’s working and just drive his truck home or maybe fly depending how far. So what, he’ll be staying in a hotel nearby with 2 babies for a week every month? They’ll need cribs… clothes, toys… the younger one is still on breast milk (I pump so not impossible but still pretty inconvenient)… what about food? Is he going to cook in a hotel or are they just getting take out every day breakfast lunch and dinner for a week straight. Not to mention he doesn’t get any sort of PTO so if he’s not working for a week every month he won’t be getting paid for that week every month. He’ll also still need to pay me some sort of child support. He also has a dog so factor that into the whole hotel scenario too. Am I being unreasonable or is this just completely crazy and not going to work at all?! 🤦‍♀️

Show your support

Never been in your position but i think it could work. He still wants to be in their lives and it’s not like he’s trying to take them completely away from you. Hotels have cribs. And if not, he can get a pack and play. As for toys, it doesn’t have to be a TON of toys. Maybe like an extra bag just for toys. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ possibilities.

Honestly no, I don’t think you’re being unreasonable. He is. If he lived in a house/apartment and took them for a week every month then sure. But not in a camper all over the place

At 4mo no way the court would let you be separated from your child for a week straight. As well as his “housing” situation would be a no go.

Not in a hotel I wouldn’t even feel comfortable with my children in a hotel or a camper for a week straight Maybe if he had a more stable living arrangement

It sounds like you guys need to sit down and calmly discuss the details. Let him know your concerns and y’all work together for ways for them to be addressed. I would assume since it’s a camper, they would stay with him in the camper since it can travel with him. It’s not impossible. But yeah. Each person air out their grievances and y’all be adults who figure out how to work this out together for the sake of those sweet babies. :)
