We take the high road and say nothing about "where" we want them to live and keep repeating how great it is to be able to have 2 homes with parents who love them.
I always wonder if they think that we don't want them as much as mom does because we don't beg them to live with us. I know its a moot point in a few years. When they are older they will understand the bribery and that mom was putting them in the middle... but right now it is hard not to just defend ourselves against mom's dialogue with them.
I say don't ask them - I like CISTEAD's response to let them know there will always be a place for them with us.
