We've had a few outings and dinners as a family, but on the weekends, my W is usually out or working. While there is no semblance of a marital relationship, most of the environmental and emotional trappings of a family are present, which confuses the kids.
My W plans on taking the kids to my SIL's house for part of their Thanksgiving break (they get the entire week)and I would take them for the back half. This will be interesting as S9 has said he doesn't want to go anywhere without me. I don't see how this charade can continue much longer.
I don't think my W will feel the full consequence of being a single parent until she moves out, which is not likely to occur for several months into the new year. There is more than a fiar chance that we will be living under the same roof after the D is final.
