[quote=Anonymous]To OP -his kids are at a very tough age to deal with the upheaval of divorce. I hope you have sympathy for that. I have an 11 year old and a teenager and they are entirely different from when they were young kids. I don’t think you get that because your kids are small. I do encourage you to make sure the older kids get plenty of alone time with their dad every week. They need it and it will help your blended family in the long run. Encourage your husband to take his kids out for dinner alone every week. They need 100% of his attention focused on them at least some times. He should also plan a special activity with just them every week. Also, like others have said, it would be best to switch your custody schedule so your kids are with you at separate times from when the older kids are with you. I know this advice is contrary to your wishes and expectations but it is important to create a solid foundation for your blended family. Good luck![/quote]
