[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put your kids first, it is hard enough having divorced parents and feeling unwelcome in your mom's home would be awful. You don't have much time left of them living at home and you don't want to regret missing out on their childhoods. Your husband sounds like he is being selfish about it as you said you have plenty of date nights etc and the kids don't need constant attention.[/quote] OP here: This is exactly my thinking, and I told my husband basically exactly what you have written. I know he got used to having a lot of time without them around, but I only have a fee more years with them before they go off to college, and I’m trying to make the best of it. In response to another post..,yes, I’m sure I pay him a little less attention than when the kids aren’t there, but parenting is busy and chaotic at times. I have 3 boys so they are active and messy and eat a lot, as teenage boys do. He has expressed unhappiness that their rooms aren’t clean all the time, etc. I’m more in the court if not expecting them to be perfect. They are very well behaved kids, but again, they are teenage boys so they are going to bring some disruption to the house. [/quote] You both didn’t marry your match. [/quote]
