Amen, sister! My DH splits custody 50/50 with his ex. We have kids (SD9 and SS4.5) for 2 days, off 5 days, on 4 days, off 3 days. I feel like I'm in prison when we have them for 4 nights in a row. I count down the hours until they leave! The 5 nights when it is just DH and me are pure bliss. I get depressed on Wednesdays when I know we get them back for the upcoming weekend. Sad

We have SS11 & SS16 on a schedule that rotates every week. We either have them Monday's & Tuesday's - BM gets them Wed & Thursday & then we have them Fri, Sat, & Sun night - they go back to BM Monday & then the schedules reverse & we get Wed & Thurs and she has them for the rest of the week. I also feel like a prisoner in my home when they are here. They eat up every ounce of food & drink that we have & insist on hogging all shared living space (den,living room,family room) to use the computer, watch tv or play xbox. And the best part is- both skids have 47 in. flat screen tvs hanging on their individual bedroom walls! We just had our basement refinished and it is super nice. My SO put so much time, money and effort into this new family room and loaded it with a 60 in. flat screen, dvr, blue ray player, bose surround sound, Wii, and x-box system and those 2 snot nose brats are now fighting over whose room it is and who is going to sleep down there! SS11 parked his chubby butt on the oversized chair & otterman (only furniture we have down there until nxt week)as soon as the carpet was done being put in! And then claimed the room for himself for the rest of the night! LMAO Biggrin SO informed him that he could play xbox for a little while and then he was going up to his bedroom to sleep, so that SS16 could use the room for a while also. SS11 got smart with him and (I'm still amazed) SO told him that when he can afford to buy his own home he can make the decisions! Until then, SO would be doing the deciding! Score! It's about damn time too! SO is such a Disney Dad that most of the time the kids are with us we end up in an argument b/c I can't stand watching those brats walk all over him. He does absolutely everything for his kids and spends every second that he has together with them. They are lazy & ungrateful brats who seem to have way to much of a sense of entitlement for me to handle. I spend my days without them in complete happiness! I love the fact that when I walk downstairs I can relax in my family room w/o an overweight brat up my ass! lol I also love that my BS who is 8 months old gets to have his Dad full time and doesn't have to share him with the skids every day. That might be wrong of me to say - but damn it it's true! haha
