Correct, as my wife is 'renting' my camper at her moms. The current lineup puts thanksgiving day with me and christmas eve and day with her. I am very firm on wanting the kids to do christmas overnight part at home. We are suppose to switch our weekends at somepoint and that would make everything line up. And i tried to discuss and her response was that it didnt work for her work schedule currently. As far as the holiday conversation that shes been pushing for me to discuss, im still waiting for her proposal.
I don't think who gets the kids for the holidays should be decided based on who has the nicest living arrangements.
Santa comes to all kinds of living spaces.
Sometimes people confuse being strong with controlling others. You want to be firm about your boundaries, but this is not a boundary issue. This is a parenting issue, which will inherently involve compromise. Even when you're living together.
