One of the reasons that all of the half-siblings and Sebastian thinks it is so great to be at dad's house is because of how cool and fun he is, how much stuff he has, what he does.
He is a singer in a rock band, he has a lot of tattoos, he owns a tattoo shop, he plays on an airsoft (pellet guns) team and has all kinds of gun and gear that he lets the boys all play with, and he has, from what I have heard, has all of the latest game systems.
He has an Xbox 360, (we have that one) and Wii, and a playstation 3, and he has all of the coolest and latest and greatest games to go with them, so all of the boys can sit around and play video games all of the time and not be bothering each other because he has 3 different systems and a computer.
He gets to be the fun parent now that all of the hard work of raising them is over with.
All of the years of potty training, school stuff, field trips, bullies, lost teeth, nightmares, all of the hard parts about raising kids, it's all over with now that they are teenagers, he doesn't really have to do much, they are already used to going to school, they've lost all of their baby teeth, they pretty much don't have nightmares anymore, they are definitely potty trained, it's all done and taken care of so he gets to be the cool and fun parent, it's all fun and games there now.
Why lived with the parent who has rules, makes you do chores,, has some strict rules, when you can go live with the fun parent?

why do you think Jamie doesnt want to live with me I have rules and curfews and she has to pick up after herself I know exactly what you are talking about
love ya
That pisses me off more than anything...that after all the hard work is done, the other parent can just "take it from here". Of course!
I am just amazed that you were able to hold your tongue about all the nice, fun things this guy has. I'm in a bit of the same boat there, as well, so I just really feel you on all of it.
Know this, though: no matter what happens, who lives with whom, one of these days the kids will definitely come to understand and appreciate all you did for them. I know they do to at least some extent now, but they'll have an even better understanding in the coming adult years.
