[quote=Anonymous]I’m recently re-married (just under 2 years) and have 3 children, who I have 50/50 custody with. The arrangement has always been that I have the kids for 1 week, and then they go to their Dad’s house for 1 week. Now that the kids are getting older (middle and high school age) my ex and I haven’t been super strict about the schedule. So for about the past 6 months, we let them really stay with whoever they’d like. So sometimes I might have them for a couple weeks at a time, or I might have 1 of the kids and the other 2 go to their dads etc etc. My ex lives just a mile away, so the arrangement works well.

The problem is that my current husband has been irritated that my kids are now staying with us more often. He’ll ask “are they all going to their Dad’s today”, and if I say no, he’ll get upset saying that him and I need our “alone time”. I told him that my kids are already getting old and won’t be at home much longer, and that I’m not going to tell my own children that they have to leave. Current husband has 1 older child that doesn’t live at home.

Am I wrong for allowing my kiddos to stay with me when they ask???
