I had looked at bringing the kids home as a way of standing up for my rights as their father.

I have the right to decide where we spend our time together, what we do etc.

I also have the right to take my D6 out of school for a day if it makes sense to do so. I would of course make sure she had any school work for that day so that we could work on it together over the weekend.

I have been using travel points to pay for the hotel rooms up to now but they are almost gone. Once they are totally gone I will be paying for all expenses out of pocket and I just can't afford that right now.

With the cost of hotel, fuel, food, etc, each weekend costs $600 or more (the last weekend with the Monday included and the trip to do the fun things in the city cost $900+). If the kids come home my only costs would be fuel and food at home which likely would be maybe $250. They would sleep in their own beds, play with their toys, have home cooked meals and see my family.
