Holidays alternate by year and school breaks (like Christmas) are split between the parents.
This is what we had as well. He never managed that. I did more than my share to make the visitation that did happen possible and in hindsight I regret it. It was not own of my finest decisions. W/in a year moved far away so it went to zero.
I made sure they had a phone to call me and any time the ex called to get the kids - I went running. He may have been just trying to make my life miserable but I was going to get my kids no matter what so I don't regret that part.
