Not at all a bad thing for the kids. I have always extended an offer for her to join us, mainly to dinner when the boys and I "eat in the area". They have been highly upset by her unwillingness to do so. They want it more than I do. Whether we get along or not, we are still their parents and that's where the line needs to be drawn as to how far our battles (went).

Now if someone were doing it merely to as an attempt to get an "in" with their ex-spouse, THAT would be bad for the kids.

EDIT- Oh, as of recent, our boys are more convinced we are done then I think XW and I are, so, certainly not a bad message for them.
