we have come up with a timeframe for him to be with the boys as well as myself.
thanksgiving will be 10-4 with him and 4-the next day with me and i"ll come home on Friday somethime. that is because it was 4-10 and i cant drive home that late with the boys. i get tired and start to nod off . so im staying at my moms 1/2 hour away. if it was 10 minutes away id drive home.
then he gets them xmas eve and we open gifts together christmas day I take them after 11 fro the day.
this is all so disturbing. ive , of course, never been away from them at the holidays.
the weird thing is, he wants to open pesents together on christmas day. this means i'll have to get him a little something and this means he has NO intention of moving out any time soon. uuuuhhhhjjjgggggg
the boys finally know. so i thought he'd move out soon. but NO

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Imagine the logistics.
The kids have to see both parents right? The parents want to see their family also, right?
Now add time to this mix. The kids are grown. They want to spend time with their kids, their spouses parents, and their own parents times 2 now.
So, I try to occomidate my kids with their time with their Mom, their kids, their inlaws, my family, my new spouses family.....
....AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I will have them on Thanksgiving. He is going to have them Christmas Eve and bring them home around 9pm.
My ex's only family is his Mother who lives in another state. All of the kids extended family is on my side and spends the Holidays with us.
Holidays have stayed the same around here... minus the ex.
Figure they will be exhausted on 25th after all the baby daddy family activities. There's only so many presents a kid can enjoy on one day.
MY KIDS ARE GONNA MAKE OUT LIKE BANDITS! (his family - her family - him - her)
I opted to take the $$$ and build memories instead of buying video games. We are taking family ski trip instead!
I am a child of divorce and my parents get along fine and never lay a guilt trip on us but it is still awkward at times. The more you can do to make it easier on your kids, the better is my opinion.
We will get together for Thanksgiving at his house including his parents and then we will get together Christmas morning to open presents, probably at my house. I was wondering the same thing as you, Annmd..should I get him a little gift from me? It would feel weird not to but, on the other hand, we are doing this to help smooth the transition for our son. Holidays are one of the worst things about being single. Yuck!
