Sadly, this is an example of why excruciatingly detailed parenting schedules are usually desirable and why relying on reasonableness works when there is a detailed parenting schedule, but not when there isn't. A week seems like a long time based on what you quoted for the holidays. It would seem the extended parenting time is intended for summer vacation or other long periods. If you can't work it out with the mother, there is always mediation or parenting professionals. Do you have clergy or neutral friends or relatives to assist?
