[quote=Anonymous]Please read these emails and tell me what you think.

Dear Ex Wife:

I'm glad that we've settled the kids into a good schedule for visiting you.

I do have one request. I'm not comfortable with our girls having a sleep over with unrelated boys. If your stepson is going to have a boy sleep over, I'd appreciate it if we could postpone or if you prefer, cancel the visit.

Can you please let me know if you can agree with that? Thank you,
 - Ex Husband

Ex wife responds:

I appreciate your concern. Timmy is the son of very good friends of ours in neighborhood. He's a great kid and there's nothing to be worried about. New spouse and I talked about the sleepover and this exact thing. We agreed to it because we know Timmy and his parents and knew this wouldn't be an issue. We kept him as a favor to his parents. If you'd like to meet them, I'm sure it can be arranged.

They all played well together for some of the evening, but mostly played separated. And of course slept is separate rooms. This is the only time we've had both boys and girls sleep over and I don't anticipate doing this often at all. In the future I'll be sure to tell you beforehand what's going on, but I must respectfully disagree with you.

When our kids are with me, they are on my watch and my responsibility. Just like when you have them, my first concern is their safety. And, just like you, I will do everything in my power to make sure they stay safe. At no time did anything inappropriate occur.

I very much enjoy having them and I think they look forward to coming over as well. And I hope I've laid to rest any issues you have on this matter.
