When I say going through the motions, she does seem happy to see them when they come to her place. She feeds them and helps them with their home work. However, whenever she has an opportunity to ditch the kids and go with her friends, she does. Christmas last year was a perfect example. She came to me and said "I have an opportunity to go away over Christmas and your family has always been more in to Christmas anyway so I think you should have the kids and I'll go away" The kids ended up not hearing from her until the 27th. She actually didn't leave to go away until the 27th, but didn't bother to call the kids on Christmas day. They then didn't hear from her for a week after that while she was away. So by going through the motions I mean that Santa Claus came to her house the Saturday before Christmas and she made them dinner and then I picked them up Christmas Eve and we didn't hear from her until the 27th. Actually she hasn't been with the kids for any holidays since she left. Easter, Valentines, Birthdays, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, None of them last year and it's headed that way this year too.

Now the newest development is that she wants to switch the kids every 2 weeks rather than every week. I'm pretty sure that this at the demand of OW and I don't think W really likes it and I know the kids don't like it. We'll have to see what effect that has on this whole thing.
