Ya. My husband basically told me he is a disinterested parent...if we were to move half a continent away he wouldn't really miss the kids, whereas I would freak lol!!

turtle, sounds like you know your own mind. I know you allow your H as much time as he needs. as a fellow teacher, I see the same things in divorced homes ( ie I am at my dad's he doesn't have a printer.....)

The thing is, he needs to get in a place where if he wants to see the kids he needs to have a place. H and I switch off once in a while. D14 stays put but gets to see us both.
