[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Tom is going out on his weekend with the kids, we give mom the 1st right to have the kids, for example if we get them Friday after school and Tom is going out, we say... we can get them Saturday or Friday, your choice. Maybe she has plans on Friday, no problem, maybe she misses seeing them on Friday, no problem. Same for Mary. [/quote] Let’s say mom doesn’t want them, or has plans. Would you, the step parent, watch them so Tom could go out on Friday?[/quote] If he wants to, sure. I don't think you should put expectations like that on your partner if they have indicated they don't want to be alone with your kids, though. It might be weird for Tom to be home and hire a babysitter for your kids while he's home. [/quote]
