Here's what I think:

Dad needs to propose a new plan, and he needs to make it as specific as he can without having to account for every minute. Some things to consider:

- Mom wanting to pick up the child early? No - but he does want to make it clear who is doing what in terms of pick-up and drop-off.
- If he feels it necessary (and I would), he can make it crystal clear that the parent can designate any adult third-party to pick-up and drop-off.
- Given Mom's ... "habit"... he needs to be proactive and make sure he's getting regular updates from school, and feedback from the child's pediatrician.

Is it 3 hours each way, or 3 hours total?
