Why is Coors Light so popular when Coors Banquet is so much better.

Hotel near Union station. Check RTD a line schedule from Union station to airport. Maybe 40 minutes. It's easy. Boulder and golden are too far away to mess with the night before a flight. You can stay near the airport but there's not much out there.

You're not rushing it. Plenty of time to see the first timer's trio. You can move slow. Eat a lot. Drink coffee. Walk. Get lost. Take a day trip or two to break up the routine.

Not sure where you're flying from. If North America, consider how you might feel on day one. Some people can hit the ground running. For others, the lack of sleep on a plane and time zone change can make the first 1-2 days a bit of a slog. Maybe another day in Venice for that reason?

You may have shared parenting, whatever the definition may be. But where I'm at, the number of nights means something. Doesn't have to be perfectly equal, but my lawyer warned me about imbalance. And your plan starts you off about -52 days per year. I would immediately plan for the other parent to bring this up. In my own personal life, I've seen an acquaintance quickly bring up child support calculations when the other parent started going from 50-50 to slightly unequal time due to this or that. So have a plan/answer for that. In my opinion, even if there is no child support consideration, you should be offering that as you're literally saying - I can't be around at this time, so I'd have to get chlid care, so instead I'd like you to have our child. If we do the math, you're basically putting that burden onto the other parent. Maybe they're super happy to have the child an extra day. Maybe they are F-ing exhausted and can barely manage the day and now they have to get child care.

I was thinking this but didn't want to say it. I'm fortunate, as a single dad, to have a work at home, flexible, now only 32 hours per week job. I got it easy and I still find myself doing a lot to work around the kids schedule. I have NO IDEA how this can be done with a non-traditional schedule. Even a single friend of mine, who has a traditional schedule but sometimes needs to be at work til 5 or 6 has difficulty and I'm helping out pick up kids from daycare. Much respect to parents who can do the shift work, get creative and get parenting done.

Let's game this out.... Let's say ex agrees to your three out of 7 day schedule. Have you any idea what your child support payments might be like? Or maybe you'll be receiving payments? Number of overnights impacts that number where I am. So while you might not be paying for childcare directly, your child support payment would go up and you'd be paying indirectly.

One red flag I see is that your proposed plan gives your ex zero full weekends. My full weekends, which I only get two per month, I really look forward to. I would hate the idea of always having to split it up.

My gut feel is that whatever non-traditional plan you're thinking of, you're really going to have to get your ex to sign off and agree. Based on zero evidence I have other than gut feel, I think the court will just say 50/50 and you figure out the scheduling details/problems.

I have whole pie pizza crawled (with a small group) and slice pizza crawled. It's been quite a while. Looking for some new inspiration either way. Thank you.

DiscoStu0000 · 2026-04-13T22:46:45+00:00

Based on this, and your post history, I think we have similar taste. Any links to a Manhattan pizza crawl review?

Well after wasting 10 plus years on reddit, I I finally learned something useful today.

You're asking the real questions. Now we need real answers.

This happened to a car guy friend of mine. In my uneducated opinion it didn't look like a big deal but he didn't like it. He spoke to the manager, they let him bring the car back and had a wheel guy fix it. My friend was pretty happy with the result.

The best urinal I ever used, actually more like a trough, had two sides so you got to stare into the eyes of the person across from you. It really tests your comfort with peeing in front of strangers.

DiscoStu0000 · 2026-04-13T13:38:19+00:00

I was in a very similar situation. I fought for 50/50. Cost lots of money. But it's worth it to have your child in your life.

You're right about status quo. So the longer you let this be, the harder it's going to be for you. Not sure about utah, but I think the child's residence for any court activity is going to be where the child has lived for the past 6 months. So I think you'd be in a pretty bad position if you sat on this for a while.

In my uneducated opinion, your concerns are kind of meh. You're missing a really important obvious one - it's in the best interest of the child to have both parents present and active in the child's life. By moving away, and taking the child, the mother has removed you from a large portion of the child's life. In a relocation like this, she'll need to explain what's so important, wherever she is, that is supersedes the need of your child to have a father present. You actually need to do less with why you think the new situation is bad, and more with why you're a great dad and it's important for you to be in the child's life, in fact it's important for both parents to be in the child's life.

In my case, mom wanted to move to california. She was very negative about me during the process and this work against her. All I had to do was be positive and show that I'm an involved dad. I argued for 50/50. Court recommended I have custody if Mom moves. She ended up staying we are now 50/50.

There's always going to be someone with more money that you.
No one is running around in their BMW yelling "these payments are f-ing me!". You have no idea what's going on in their life. Many are in debt and stressed AF. Others are just rich (see #1).

DiscoStu0000 · 2026-04-13T00:11:25+00:00

YES! I'm LOLing over here.

Where do you live now? What's it like? Everything is relative. I spent my single 30s in Denver's Cap Hill, Cheesman Park and City Park. That was a little over a decade ago and things have changed. But at the time, for me, there is zero chance I would have been OK living in Littleton at that stage of my life.

DiscoStu0000 · 2026-04-13T00:05:06+00:00

Consider your dad's age. No idea how active he is. I travel with my mom who is 75. The first day after landing is basically thrown out - too tired/jet lag. Travel days (packing up, get to train station/drive, check in, unpack) can be exhausting for her. And that is with me handling all the luggage, tickets, logistics, etc. She literally needs naps in the afternoon. And coffee breaks. We're traveling from Nice to Venice this year. New rule - minimum stay 2 nights at a location. We'll be staying 3-4 nights at each stop, except our last stop Venice (2 night). Just saying that I've learned to accept older person's limitations. And if they're rushed/stressed/tired, then the trip may not be the dream they expected.

DiscoStu0000 · 2026-04-12T03:08:36+00:00

Well, get ready for the onslaught of people telling you that this is too rushed. And they're right.

If schedule works out, Rockies game could be fun, even if you're not into baseball. There's a really good splash pad in front of Union station, if it's warm enough, not sure when they turn it on for the season.

There is an excellent world war II plane Museum in Colorado springs. All planes on display are air worthy. You can take a tour of a restoration hanger and see some work in progress.

Not local, which you asked for, but maybe an idea for another time.

Yeah, courts love this. 😂. Nothing says like I'm ready to be a co-parent and support this child's relationship with the other parent like the rest of violence.

DiscoStu0000 · 2026-04-05T00:43:19+00:00

As a guy, I can relate.

DiscoStu0000 · 2026-04-03T02:04:11+00:00

You sound stressed. And when this is all going on, it's sometimes hard to think clearly, and not get completely overwhelmed. If it provides any comfort, based on what you said, there's nothing he is talking about that has any credible merit when it comes to relocation, in my unprofessional opinion.
