Depends on what seasonal cycle I'm on at the time.....If I'm feeling up, I spend time with them and enjoy each other's company.
If it were my current season....The season where I'm only interwsted in me and my kids....I'll make some sporadic time for them but I can't let them get too close.
If it's my down season, I create as much distance as possible because I don't need anyone stepping in on my binge drinking time.
