[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At those ages, I would tell them they need to address that with their dad. It sounds like dad wants more autonomy: he doesn’t want the kids tattling on him to you, and then having you step in and telling him how to parent. So let him have that: he is wholly responsible for what happens at his house, and you don’t get involved. The kids can tell him why they don’t want to go over anymore, and he can have the conversation with them. It’s a good life skill for everyone involved.[/quote] They are not peers and it is not a conversation of equals. So I don't know if the right approach is "let them duke it out." I mean I suppose you can teach them to say, "well why don't you make more money? why are you so poor? if you made more money, it wouldn't have mattered to you. " But I don't see that ending well.
