Talk About Marriage - View Single Post - Wife returning for the weekend to see kids. Should she be allowed to stay with us?

Talked to my wife yesterday and she brought up the possibility of staying at the house this weekend. I told her that I was concerned about how our kids would feel once she left. The feeling of abandonment again. Maybe I'm overreacting. Even though they know she is only visiting for the weekend, I told her that with her living in the house it might still send them a mixed message (subconciously?). My wife became upset and felt I was trying to keep her away from the kids. She also didn't understand the difference between her staying at our house and her dad's house.
