H came to pick up the kids this am and D4 was still sleeping. I had to get to work so I told him to take his time at the house, let her sleep and get her up and ready whenever he was ready to go. Tonight he is coming by to drop off the kids and mow the lawn. Yesterday he took the kids to the beach then gave them showers at the house so I wouldn't have to deal with it.
It's like he's got a couple of toes back in the family. Not sure if this is good or bad, if I should encourage or discourage this behavior. Right now I'm just going with it.
I'm getting a little anxious about school starting after labor day. D4 is starting kindergarten and I'm not psyched about her having to adjust to that and continuing this back and forth to FIL's house with H. Same with S7, who struggles with doing HW and I also fear the shuffling around will not be good for him. The thought crossed my mind that perhaps H and I should arrange an in house separation just to keep the kids in one place but since we're not firmly on a reconciliation path I'm thinking that's probably not a good idea.
