I may have another suggestion....tell me more about this trip... Lots of kids? Including his? Would your kids have fun? Or would you think they'd rather be with you?
It is a memorial camping trip for his deceased friend. Lots of families camping. Lots of kids. W has already agreed to pull our kids out of the mixso she wasn't talking about taking them. She hinted that I could keep them while she goes. She's struggling to figure out how to pull back after she fully immersed the kids in his life without thinking it through. She defined her choices as go and hurt me, tell him she cant go because of me and hurt him, or lie and make an excuse.
