My boys, age 16 and 14, have now decided that they want to live one week with their dad, then the next week with me and so on. Right now I have had them living with me except on weekends and the occasional third weekend they were with me until Sat. night. Now that my 16 year old will be getting his driver's license on Monday they want to spend more time with dad. Part of me thinks it's fair and the other part of me that left me crying for an hour this morning as it hit me that after this Sunday I will not see them as much. So is this a good idea for them to do this? or should I put my foot down? Not sure if they realize they will probably be living out of suitcases basically unless dad goes and buys them school uniforms and some more weekend clothes.

Whats wrong with the boys spending more time with their dad?
At that age they should spend more time with him.

Only you can decide what is good for your boys.
It has been along time since my children's father had anything but supervised visits, however I have agreed with conditions that the oldest 17 could spend this summer visiting his father. Not that I think it will go right, rather as a chance for my son to see his BD for what he really is before turning the magic 18, younger son has always seen BD for what he was. So if you think it may be good for your sons, then do it. Talk about your feelings with your sons, let them know your worrys and let them tell you about theirs.

I agree that only you can decide what's right for them. For my son he is required home on school nights. Home meaning my house. I tried letting him go to his g-pa's house during the week last year and it backfired big time. His grades suffered so now we know he can no longer handle the back and forth on weekdays.

I would say let them do the moving back and forth since they are pretty much at the age that they can decide. However, I think the novelty will wear off and it will become more of a chore than a pleasure and it won't take long before they are back to the normal schedule.
