I've been trying to engage my "detached" WAW into activities with our sons (M 15, M 10). With limited success. The in house separation means she "comes and goes as she pleases". Most meals she is present but then she withdraws until our youngest has to go to bed. Occasionally she watches a movie or plays a board game with us. Sometimes she and I will watch a TV show together. This weekend because of some work taking place in the house she has agreed to come away for the weekend with us (coincides with Spring break for the boys). We will be in one hotel room and going to meals, the waterpark together, etc.

Anyone have some ideas on how I should be acting in close quarters for 48 hours. I'm hoping this will be a good opportunity for us.

Bring it on.
