[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 36720, member: 805"] Couple of questions. Have you met this man in person yet? Have the children met him? Is he aware that your daughter is a difficult child? And why won't ex take the kids for 1/2 the time he's here? Does he take the children any other times? Sorry, I seem to have more questions than suggestions. I agree wtih Steph that you have to tread carefully when you are introducing someone to your kids. Did he ask you before he made all these plans to come and visit or was it a suprise? You are the one with the children. He will have to be accomodating to you. Since the kids are in school, perhaps you can see him at times during the day and go out a few evenings and get a sitter and then spend a couple evenings at home. Don't plan anything that require the kids to be on their behavior (formal dinner with the good china). Maybe a dinner out at a place where the kids can play games, or a night of making homemade pizzas and movies. I assume he won't be staying with you so perhaps the kids will be ok in small doses. I would talk to ex again and advise him of his responsibiity towards his children (and I don't say this lightly because I have a bonehead ex as well!). Sharon [/QUOTE]
