There may be some strategis to deal with MLC, but I haven't seen many... whenever that is offered up as diagnosis here I don't see any tactics for it offered... everyone just says "He's in MLC" and that's all... I just don't consider that very helpful.

Pass I seriously wouldn't pikc up your H's slack righ tnow... he needs to see the damage he's doing.

If he is due to pick up his kids, call a cab and have him pay for the ride... He will complain you didn't do it yoruself just tell him :

"You wanted more control of the household - you need to be sober to manage it properly"

Tell the kids to take a taxi if they need a ride until your H starts sobering up... keep track of the cost..

I don't reccomend cleaning up any messes he makes... if he racks up taxi fare costs then just show him the total... each week.

This way

1. He has consequences
2. Kids are safe
3. you don't have to pick up aftr him
