Why is standard visitation so short?

I just lost custody of my two children. I had joint custody, one week here, one week at their moms. It worked great, but it is over now. Four days per month, that's all the time with them I will get now. I've seen what standard visitation can do. I used to enjoy working with my kids on their homework. That will all but end now. I've heard people complain about "weekend dads". This kind of visitation turns us into weekend dads.

Some brainstorming-

Maybe some dads are real deadbeats and kidnap their kids.
Maybe its too chaotic for the kids to switch back and forth too much.

If it was every weekend, then the mother would never get to see her kids during their free time.

Maybe judges are stuck in a rut and are not doing what is truely in the best interest of children.
