[quote=Anonymous]For me it was because I was already the primary parent.
HOWEVER, I did not have the kids on a custody clock. Although the settlement agreement was very specific about the clock, I let it slide quite often based on the circumstances. My flexibility on the matter was very mollifying for ex and made co-parenting much less stressful for the entire family.
I believe it is important for the kids to have strong relationships with both sides of the family so was happy to enable quality time, especially on holidays.

When I was in college, my first beau was a child of divorced parents. He would pop over to his father's house whenever he felt like seeing him. I thought that was so cool. His mother didn't chide about the father's drinking (but she did about his extramarital excursions), but my boyfriend witnessed his father downing several martinis every time he visited and this was formative for his teetotalling attitude towards alcohol.
So moms, don't push it. Let the kids will form their own opinions.[/quote]
