Part of the tricky thing is that they love novelty. For a while they will have fun with it, esp if H continues to continually feed them treats and restaurant food that they don't get with me . They want to be part of H's life. They're not great with transitions, though. I would expect that to become more of an issue over time, but it wouldn't necessarily be obviously directly correlated. For example, S6 had a really bad fall term, because he was overscheduled for him IMO. His behaviours went way downhill. But H never accepted my interpretation of the problem. Even they start pushing back and acting upset about the increased overnights, by then H will be expecting them to stick with the program and expecting me to back him up.
