Need an answer. I am considering spending weekends away from the house with my kid because she uses me as a convenient babysitter while she goes wild. We will return at the end of the weekend. Is this a bad idea?
This is a tough one. How old is stepson? What is your relationship with stepson? I believe the LBH should try to protect or mitigate any effects on the children as much as possible. Maybe go away for one weekend to send a message, but afterwards do whatever you would do "as if" the W was not there. If that involves staying at home, then so be it.
So I guess what I'm saying is don't go away just to punish your W, go away because it is something you want to do. If staying home is something you want to do, then do that. In other words, you are acting and doing thing regardless of the W.
