That is exactly what I was wondering. The kids are old enough to manage during the day while you and your boys come and go on the weekends when Dad isn't there. Mom has no right to complain that the kids are alone if you aren't there. If she does, then Dad should let her know that he attempted to notify her that he would not be available but since she didn't cooperate, he exercised other options.This kinda relates to stealths question about why the kids need childcare, and I admit I'm just curious, but if dad feels that his 12 and 15 year old children do not require a babysitter, does he have to hire one on his time? Or is it his choice to let them take care of themselves?
See where I'm going with this?
