She then went on to say once they leave she wants me to move in. I said "if we are not together, why would I do that?" She got pissy again and said "I dont have the answer you need right now" I just said "its fine, im going to the gym now, ill see you later" she told me I looked good, gave me a big hug.

Hmm.. most of the dialogue above was with your ex. Just strive to keep doing better next time, maybe 12 words instead of 48. "Take care" or "Good night" worked for me the past couple of weeks as polite things to say before closing and locking the door on my ex.
Note, your kids skipping school jeopardizes their future and is under your control. Many parents I know would take action if their ex stopped taking their kids to school. Expressing disapproval was maybe you trying to find your footing before taking concrete action?
