I would understand his situation completely, I am glade you see how uncomfortable it would be for all.
I think its great he is giving his kids a year to get their **** together!
Enjoy what you can, I dont see anything bad. You dont feel like cleaning the house, dont!
Dont make a relationship such hard work, go with the flow. You sure have on some things, just not all.
We want to see each other that often. Yes, I suppose it is moving rather quickly, but it's not like we've declared that we're soulmates or declared love to each other. It's been one month. We're both 54 years old. We've been around the block a few times. When you're older, you know yourself better, what you like and dislike, need and don't want or need. We like spending weekends together. It's not the whole weekend. I reserve a day and a night to myself as well.

Regarding the situation with his kids - you have a good point, and I won't push it. But I don't know how long this will last. I don't want to only host him every single time. Like I wrote, it will eventually grow old.
