six months is too soon...

...and in a negotiation, and this is a negotiation, NEVER ask for what you want. Always ask for a lot more so you can give in later and he'll think he won.

Ask for two years before he gets overnights. That way you can give up a year and still end up with one year.

Six months, and I know what I'm talking about here, is WAY WAY too soon for overnights.

Take care,

P.s. Apply this principal to all of your asks. It's exactly what he did with his ****** proposal, and now you are responding with asking for almost nothing. He was probably trying to manipulate this result, SO DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM. Give him back what he gave you, then negotiate to something reasonable.

P.p.s. Don't apply Normy logic here, apply an alcoholic's "logic" and this will be way easier.
