So we have been planning a trip to our cottage in Michigan over the kids spring break. My wife told me that she is not comfortable going, so she wants to split up the week and have her go the first weekend and then bring the kids back and have me go back or do something else the second half of the week. I am not sure how we are going to do this with the kids. It has only been a month and a half since the discussion first began and we don't want to the kids to the changes yet. I offered to come up and work on the house, it is a rehab project we are about half way done with. And get a hotel nearby so the kids and my wife can hang out there in the evening while I do the work. She doesn't want to do that. So I guess we are spending time alone with the kids. I am not sure what to do. I offered to have her mother come up too and I can do my work and keep a low profile, the kids are used to seeing me work on the house. Any thoughts?
