I'm glad your husband is taking the leaf w/the boys for a bit. I certainly can relate to feeling like its overwhelming.
Funny you should mention a situation w/the boys...
My xH is a complete KID, flies off the handle swearing at the top of a hat, and is really a piss poor example for my boys. He has visitation that he can "handle", and that's good for the boys, but it does present a lot of teaching moments.
I do a lot of explaining to them what behaviors/reactions are appropriate. I try really hard to spin it into not sounding like a Dad bashing. So far so good. Just never lose the opportunity to continuously teach them what is right.
Off to a bball game!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
