So the STBX and I talked this afternoon. We were discussing if either of the kids wanted to stay with her tonight. S doesn't and D, maybe.
So she then goes and says "well it's your weekend anyway." I asked how do you figure?
She said that's how I drew it up in the agreement. I said that I wasn't aware that we had made an agreement; I saw your proposal. The kids have been allowed by both of us to stay wherever they like provided we can be available. I want to make sure that it stays that way; because this is their home. Their mother left.
MC - Ha! Are you trying to get me drunk? Last time that happened (accidentally) I ended up a dancing machine. Watch out!
Seriously... how are things w/YOUR kids?
I read back a bit. Gosh, I'm sorry for all of your chaos!
HUGS, friend! I can't imagine trying to explain the situation (new baby) to them, at their age, AND not feeling some kind of f'ing contempt for your W.
You're a gem!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
Kids are doing well. They are settled into the routine; though it might change a bit when the D goes through. We've had a pretty informal kid exchange; I expect that to continue for the most part...all depends on the W. I don't want to short change their time with her; but sometimes she's just too selfish to want them around.

Either a gem or a doormat...LOL
I've tried to give her the benefit of the doubt recently. She was intimating that she wanted to return all last summer and I figured that I'd let her prove it. She didn't want to after all.
I went through the contempt last year; now I think this kid might the only reason that I can truly let go. I have some issues of my own to deal with after a R with the type of person that my W is.
In the end...I want my kids to see parents that get along and are not bitter. I can do that; I pray that she can as well.
