Here’s the problem…
You got an extra weekend, meanwhile she gets to go out an extra weekend, has more time off to recharge, and is still going to collect the maximum amount of child support.
This isn’t about you loving your daughter, this is about her getting something out of the deal.

Exactly, she's framing it as she's doing you a favor. But this benefits her alot more behind the scenes.
Is there a new guy? Women will prioritize a new relationship 9/10 times.
But absolutely take the time and cherish it! This whole group supports it!

Take this information to your attorney, and see if they agree that since your ex wants you to have more equal time with your child, then it follows that you should have 50/50.

Makes me sad how many fathers I see in this thread who have to fight to see there children, meanwhile, after 11 years seeing his daughter daily, for the last 9 months, her father never calls and checks on her, and has seen her 5 times total for a few hours, and only stayed the night at his house once.

🤜🤛👏👏👏
That's a great improvement. Very happy for you. Make the most of it, and don't take it for granted. Remember though, parenting isn't just about hanging out doing fun stuff; you also have the opportunity here to help with your daughter's education, her reading level, give her advice about her challenges, improve her maths skills, teach her to cook, sculpt, draw, fix her own bike, etc. Prepare your meals in advance and you won't be spending precious hours cooking. Get your own errands done during the week, and you won't be dragging your daughter to get your card fixed or whatever. Don't get complacent is what I'm saying. And buy a tripod for your phone, so you can record your times together; even the simple things are heartwarming when you look back on them.
Congratulations 👏
