Makes sense. That gives her more time to explore the single life. As long as she's not asking for more than 50/50, and as long as it's a regular schedule and not babysitting duty, it's a reasonable request.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're proposing to tell her. The next time she invites you, you can politely decline, if she invites you again and you decide that's not in your or your kids' best interest. Don't be that guy who tells his wife, "Don't invite me again", which come across as rude and controlling.

I'm sorry it was a painful visit. Some day, you'll probably be able to go to events in common, and just focus on and enjoy the presence of your kids. That may be some time from now. It took me a few years. It's natural to be in pain so soon after a breakup (and yes, I'm speaking from experience!!) I know divorced parents who never got there, and I know divorced parents who got there within a year.
