Oh, with regard to your kids, please just consider what I was saying but you know your kids and your sitch better than I do (duh)...just observing that he seems to look for you to tell him what to do with them and he's going to have to grow up. Some people might appreciate and enjoy having that authority in this kind of sitch but IMO it is unhealthy and unrealistic. Single dads have to manage their own relationships with kids (probably better for married dads too; that's a clue btw).
