[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude it's not an "extra" house!  It's an alternative house that your children are REQUIRED to leave their first house and switch to, whether they want to or not.  It's not like a happy family that also owns a place by the ocean!  Your children have the BURDEN of switching houses and no matter how weirdly you coerce your ex into maintaining sameness of home and routines, it's not the same house!  If you let them choose, they have the BURDEN of choosing between their parents.  If you make them have a schedule, they have the BURDEN of moving.  I'm not saying this isn't better than your apparently bizarrely awful marriage.  But this isn't good and it isn't the same as having a house and an extra house.

Have you ever met an adult who lived in two identical homes?  No, because that's a real pain and very weird.  Yet that's what your children are doing and you're insisting that it's totally fine.  Would you want to live that way?  I doubt it.[/quote]

I would have vastly preferred my kid’s childhood than mine with parents in a very bad marriage and moving every 3 years and having completely absentee parents who stayed in an awful marriage. My kids have a great childhood—their parents are both involved and have separate residences. They love having both houses. It is not awful at all. Not your norm, but not awful.[/quote]
