[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- same story, different excuses.  At first she hung out afterschool with the kids and made herself coffee/sandwich. Now that has been curtailed but still coming over for extended period of time using different excuses.  House was married home before but she took a payout and we own it. [/quote]

"excuses" = "kid asks to go get something left at home"?

What is your expectation about situations like these? It sounds like she has adjusted her behavior, just not exactly the way you want her to. [/quote]

OP here = "excuses" as in it can wait until you are home from work -- no emergencies[/quote]

Look, I'm all about boundaries. When my ex's new partner expressed a need for different boundaries than he and I had previously established (which were basically that it was fine for me and DD to come over to pick up ballet shoes she forgot, winter coat, etc. whether he was home or not), I absolutely complied with her request. But I think you are being a little bit pedantic here. If she is picking up the kids and they need to grab something from the house, I don't see why that has to wait until 6pm or 7pm. Would you be more okay with the drivebys (even if they last more than 5 minutes) if she notified you when they were on their way? [/quote]
