how often is it usual that the other parent sees the children? My ex said it was once per fortnight but i think once a week is better as they need to see more of him and i need a break too?

At first in my seperation with my ex he would spend every weekend with our children. Friday at 6 till Sunday at 6. That didnt last very long he stoped seeing the kids all together.
But everyone is diffrent sometimes it is every weekend all weekend sometimes every other weekend, or one day on the weekend. I guess what ever you guys workout together. But you deffenitly need time for your self and it's good for the kids to see ther dad often.

I too had a change in what was negotiated than what has happened. My ex agreed to every other weekend and he has only had them 3 times in the past 2 years. The important part is to negotiate something that works best for you and the other parent - try not to make it a battle. He will miss out if he chooses less and you will be thankful for the extra time. You cannot force someone to be more involved than they want to be.
As for the break for yourself, find an alternative - a grandparent, other relative, etc. I wish you luck and try to take the perspective that it is a gift you get so much time with your children as they will be grown before you know it.
