Having said that, I am curious on what you all think I should do about the coming week.
I am planning to pull our large RV over to my W's town and keep the kids with me for the entire week. Basically to implement the shared time concept I have been talking about. The kids will of course be in their same schools, do their same after school activities etc.
The question is, should I tell my W my plans BEFORE I have the kids?
When I had previously told my W I planned to keep the kids with me for an extra day over the weekend she threatened to withhold the kids from me. When I told her the kids would be in school for that day and do everything they normally would do she went along with it.
Now I am planning to keep them for not one extra day but 5.
I would like to tell her my plans and be upfront about things. My concern is that she will flip out and withhold the kids from me. If I don't tell her before hand, pick the kids up on Friday and then tell her once the kids are with me she still will likely get upset however I at least would have the opportunity to show that the kids can do very well staying with me for a week while they are in school. She then hopefully will get used to the idea, see that the kids are just fine and then go along with things.
Thoughts?
