We both work full time and it's hard for us to find time during the week to see each other. Her ex takes there kids two days a week but does not take them over night so she really only has about 2 hours of free time on her nights off which is not fair.And my Ex-wife does so I have the nights. We both own houses which require up keep and things to get done. She has been getting mad and upset that somethimes I do not come over during the week on my nights off with my kid, but I sometimes have to go home and do house hold chores which we also we put off during the weekend and get other stuff done, cook and clean etc, etc. By the time I am done with stuff it's 8 or 9pm and I try to relax and unwind, then I have to drive 20 mins. to her house. How can we resolve this

It's hard during the week because her kids have school and they don't get home until 8pm when her ex's drops them off on his nights. they are 8 and 9 and needs to put them to bed

Explain your need for some time away to rest and relax after busily working and doing chores all day. Perhaps offer to talk on the phone for a while on the days you choose to stay home. Also, she should get a babysitter (perhaps offer to help with this expense) at least once a week so that the two of you can go out and have some quality time together.
