Thank you for your answer. I wanted to bring to your attention two approaches.
One proposed per Mother and one proposed by Father and see your opinion:
Mathematically there should be only one answer that allows us to arrive at Equality
The Mother’s approach;
Both parties have a starting point 5 and 5
Because the Mother owes 2 days from past she is wiling to give them so now the father has 7 night and the mother 3 nights for even distribution.
Now outside of that Father requests extra 2 days to get to 9 but the Mother suggests that she should also be allowed to be given 2 extra in future on the same basis as father. Fair enough. Consensus is: 9 (5+2+2) for the Father and 5 (3+2)for the mother (3 + 2)
clarification
Father: 9
5 his spring break
2 that mother owes him
2 that are additionally requested
Mother
3 from spring break
2 that are additionally requested
fathers Approach:
Each one is entitled to 5 and 5
He takes 5 plus 2 that mother owes him so that’s 7 for him automatically. Now since he asks for 2 extra that’s 9 out of 10 total days but he is willing to give those 2 extra days back.
According to him the equal distribution would
9
And 3 for mom (1 left from spring break ) plus 2 of the extra days that the father also takes and is willing to give back.
Who is mathematically right?
