X-husband wants to take children to a Halloween party an hour away, on what is a school night, and doesn't know when he will get back, but the hayride doesn't start until 9 p.m. Children are 2,4, and 6 years old and usually are supposed to be back to me by 8 p.m. (they live with me, but he gets them one evening a week). He wants to keep them overnight after the party and get them to school the next morning. If I don't let them go, he'll likely tell them that "mommy wouldn't let me take you to a party" and make them sit home (he doesn't approve of trick or treating). Should I let them go, offer to extend the return time until...? 10?... Or just tell him no, that the proposed party is too far away and goes too late. Oh, and his house is 30 minutes from their schools, so they would have to get up extra early the next morning to be on time.
