Things will change after I sign, changing the locks on the doors, W no longer welcome in my house, she can sit outside in her car and wait until the kids are ready for school or whenever she decides to pick the kids up.
I think that's a wonderful idea, consequences and all that. But why wait??????

I'm conflicted; I want to ask W what 2 weekends she wants the kids each month (this will cut into her party time) but it will allow me some free time to get stuff done or go out every now and then or do I just hire a babysitter and let her take them when she wants ?? (once every month)

I think you should do a schedule. My C recommended this even when we separated and the L says you set up a schedule as well. It's good for the kids b/c my D9 always wants to know what days she will see her dad and if you have a schedule they can see it on the schedule exactly. Also if your W is anything like my H why let them just party whenever they want and then you have to accomodate their schedule??? It's not fair to your or your kids!!! Of course that's just my opinion of course! \:\)

Merry Christmas and thanks for the heads up on Charlie Brown tonight. We watch every holiday special they have!!! \:\) Karen
