This Saturday: A poker party at the ex's house. I get to spend the evening with all of - and only - the ex's family.

The kids want us there, not a good enough reason for me. It's not a stressful situation, the kids just want their dad & me there because it'll be fun to have us there. They need to realize that we can't be there whenever they want.

Pow-Wow

My boyfriend told me of a pow-wow he had with the ex about my relationship with the kids.

She thinks even though the kids & I are golden right now, (open, casual & comfortable with few moments of hesitation),

"it's going to get hard & ugly."

This perspective is based on how they reacted to her boyfriend, who they see as the reason the family broke up. The kids see me as someone who helped Daddy stop crying, makes him laugh and is willing to get down & dirty involved in their interests.
