Sounds like things are great with you and the doc. I'm happy for both of you. When XH and I married, his girls came to our house every day after school then their mom picked them up when she got off work. He got off work early and spent time with them and we usually had dinner with them because their mother was too lazy to cook. Even when the girls had their own cars and could do what they want, they still chose to come to hang out at our house until they HAD to go home, which eventually became them staying all the time because their mother moved out of state. It worked for all of us and was probably most beneficial for their mother, but since it gave us a lot of extra time with the girls, we really didn't care.
