[quote=Anonymous]I’m in the middle of a sucky divorce so I’m not fully in your shoes yet, but part of the problem that you’re operating in an environment that is really hard to turn “normal.” If it’s 80/20, the best case scenario is that your kids are leaving every other weekend. Imagine before your divorce and summer break and what it would be like if you were taking a trip every other weekend. The house would indeed be chaos because you’d constantly be packing and unpacking and doing a bunch of laundry all at once. I’m guessing the kids bring dirty stuff back because they can’t risk leaving it there and not having access? Mine plans to bring hers back and forth too so I don’t blame them.

Anyway, I’m saying that there might not be a short term solution but more importantly, of course you are burnt out! This is a really bad arrangement for you and the kids and just when you’re barely scraping by and getting into your own new routine, it’s upended by a custody switch and needing to recover once the kids are back. Honestly it sounds like you’re doing a good job with what you have. [/quote]
