[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here = really appreciate all the comments. This has all given me lots to think about. I certainly want a relationship with these kids and not have DH in the middle. One thing that gives me pause here is the slippery slope. At what point does my right to privacy and feeling comfortable in my own home trump the exes and the kids right to the status quo. We all come with baggage and I love my husband and these kids but at some point I see myself being so accommodating that she's around ALL the time (she doesn't work) and me being miserable. Is there a balance here? I can't expect her to be the reasonable one. She has and would sit on our couch every afternoon we have the kids if there was not some boundary established.[/quote]

OP, what do you want?  You've had plenty of validation that she is in the wrong.  Are you asking for permission to ban the kids from your house when it's not their day to be there?  Clearly some people are harsh enough to do that (I think it would be cruel), but as others have pointed out, that may have consequences that you do not want.

There is no "balance" that everyone can agree on-- and even if there were, how are you planning to get from here to there?  [/quote]
