I think the 2 weeks of his kids opting out and making themselves sparse vs demanding to cling/takeover my house was a relief that had me almost  change my mind about leaving. 
 

Anyways the territory invaders are back for another weekend ...until infinity...Andy memory is jogged as to why I will proceed with my plans. 
 

Dude stupidly continues to tell him his schedule (giving them full control to work him/assert their demands) so they knew he was off work Friday but this dude wisely took his son OUT ( I work from home and do not want his son gaming loudly and creating background noise which is against my wfh policies) then wisely picked both of them up later in the evening so I got a couple hours to chill/decompress after work. 
 

His daughter tried to stay up late last night but he wisely told her to go to her room at 10:30 after she started making a sh*t ton of noise

Today....this dude has already kind of worked my nerves. 
 

His daughter decided to invite her friend over. Dude wisely consulted with me first. I honestly didn't care because 1. I know I'm leaving that house and won't have to deal with skid stuff anymore 2. I'm leaving that house temporarily as needed so he will deal with those kids on his own anyways lol!!!

After we agreed his daughter thought she was slick and was like "oh I forgot to tell you that my friend is spending the night" 

Dude told her no that's not what I agreed to when I said yes.
 

 then she tried to work him "oh so you mean my friend can't spend the night?"

(in my mind I'm like look Little girl did you not hear your dad tell you NO)

Then as usual, his Divorced Dad guilt kicked in (in the back of my mind I'm like if you don't grow a pair b@lls and stand on your decision, I will have less respect than I already have) and he almost caved. 
 

He asked me what I thought and I gave my honest opinion (if she wants to invite her friend over cool but if they want an overnight I think it should be PLANNED in advance so the laundry/food/etc is ready) but told him I didn't care what he decided to do (since I'm leaving and I don't care about his shenanigans since they won't affect me anymore)

He stood on his initial gut feeling saying no to her last minute demands  

I wished he would have gotten a clue a lot sooner and make his kids act better on the weekends. Unfortunately this change is coming too late and I don't know if it's long lasting or not. 
 

All I know is I can't wait to have my own space sans skid takeovers. My own man who isn't heavily controlled by his kids/his exwife/his divorced guilt. 

I'm looking forward to weekends where I can control the schedule (no random but expected skid/skid friend drop offs), control the environment (clean/peaceful/quiet/conducive to success and abundance), cleaning up after myself only, and own expensive stuff without fear of skids destroying it. 

*As usual though dude is trying to get me locked into that house with him and those kids so he won't be drained and overwhelmed and so he doesn't have to spend money entertaining his spawns.  All I can think is 1. I work from home all week I don't want to lay around the house all weekend like bumps on logs with y'all 2. You want the custody you do the work!!! PEACE OUT!!!
