[quote=Anonymous] I'm dealing with custody issues this morning, my ex wants (and always did) want more time with the teen and 20-year old 2 kids), insisting on having DS on his birthday for the 2nd year in a row, and creating all sorts of expensive vacations to entice the kids to spend more time with him (he can afford it and being self-employed can take all the time he needs, whereas I have little money and little vacation time.)

So while I agree that time with the dad is very important however it comes about, I also know that it comes at a cost to OP's relationship with her kids.  One parent doing the difficult and thankless work while the other parent entices the kids to spend their vacations with him.  (In my case he takes them on ski trips, beach vacations, trips to Europe, and then even if I could provide somethiing cool, they've already used up their vacations, and the adult child has no more vacation time to spend with me.

I don't have an answer but it's not a simple case of let him have all the time he wants with the kids.  It's painful.[/quote]
