I’m going on a trip with a friend next week.
My first time being away from the kids since separating from ex (2 years ago, wow. Time. It does go on, don’t it).
So, he’ll be staying with them while I’m gone. (They live with me full-time. He has weekly visitation, per his availability / willingness.)
Right now, I’m trying to walk the line between making sure the kids have what they need/stable routines/etc. while I’m away and not doing unnecessary mental/emotional/domestic labor for someone who is a full-grown adult and could also be a fully involved parent.
Tricky.
