I had tried to go ahead and just tell him my parents would watch the kids. But I walk a fine line with him and the kids, because I have restricted him from them in the past - and that is one of the things I am trying to change. I figured him staying with the kids at my place would be fine because:
1) He was right, there was a lot going on at his mom's and they would be better off at my place. 2) I was leaving the house and going out for the night. 3) We had already established that he would sleep separately from me.
Him spending the evening did not bother me - it was him changing the plan at 2am, AFTER I had relied on him to be there for the kids in the morning.
Because he is the calm one and I am the hot head I tried my best to let him just go and the next day when he finally did check in with me and apologize to just let it go.
Next time... the kids go to my moms!!!
