I'm not sure what you mean by "my kids home town". Do you mean the town they were born and raised to their current age in, or I guess until you moved?

Are your kids still the same age as they are in your sig? Do they not like your H and if so, what would their reason be? Or is it simply that they would rather be at the beach than with their dad?

While I understand your position, I am not sure why there was no compromise made? Ultimately, that lies with you.

Alternately, did would it be horrible to offer that your H could come hang with the kids out where you and they will be?
