Honestly.. it was hard. The house being empty and quiet. Calling them at a specified time.. hearing them say "Are you coming over daddy?"
That's the crappy part.
I won't lie.. for me.. it's been a TON easier with her out of the house. I don't see her coming and going as she pleases doing god knows what till god knows when. Not having to deal with the lies (at least as frequently).
Now.. another thing.. for me, this wasn't a huge transition. She's been going to school.. I work from home quite a bit, so I'm used to this kind of arrangement. For her, it was a TOTAL shock to have them by herself for 5 days in a row. Course now she mixes them with his kids (looking for some help are we?) so that kind went out.
I actually enjoy my time away from the girls. Don't get me wrong.. I love them and enjoy every minute I spend with them. My W took quite a bit from me and I've dedicated what I feel has been more than my fair share towards the girls. So for me.. it's kind of nice to be able to go out and do things for me an not feel guilty.
