OK that makes sense then. She wants to spend the time with them but doesn't have the space to do it where she lives.
I suppose it is a fine line because on one hand being the upstanding guy that you are you want your kids to spend time with their mom, and vice versa. But yet you don't want them thinking she is coming back if she isn't. And it leaves you having to find something else to do while she is there.
I guess at least the positive is the kids are seeing their mom a lot more than it seemed like they were a while back....
