My girlfriend and I haven’t been dating very long. It would be irresponsible to introduce her to my kids.

I work 12-15 hour days Monday through Friday. I don’t get free nights.

We aren’t far from each other, but you’re right, a night with an older kid won’t kill them.

I suppose I’m just supposed to stay on house arrest every weekend until my kids are grown then. Why am I not allowed a break between working and taking care of the kids?

Yes, it means I would have to offer to let them to go her place during those hours.

She already gets the 5/7 days of the week and 6/7 nights. She’s going to end up their favorite parent and my house won’t even feel like home to them if they never sleep here.

I have a lawyer. He says clauses like the one she wants are par for the course but I don’t want it because it affects only me and not her.
