Would like your opinions on if/how EW visits effects skids

Some things have really got me thinking. We have skids every weekend. On the day BM is to come to pick them up, the boys seem very anxious and usually ask several times a day what time she will be here and they seem like they always really want to go home

Maybe it's me and I'm looking way too much into it, but it seems like they get a little irritated with having to do this every weekend and would prefer to have some weekend time in their bm's home

I dont personally think every weekend would be healthy to go such a long distance. But for my step daughter, i would so my fdh would be able to see her, but currently they have EOWE and we live about 120 miles from her and they meet at a half way point the judge wouldnt grant EWE to him.

How old are the skids? There could be lots of reasons:

1. They know they're supposed to go home that day - kids are impatient. What time? Can we just do this thing? - It's kind of like "are we there yet, are we there yet?"
2. They probably have more of a setup at home "toys, games, everything" - they're ready for their stuff.
3. If they are old enough, maybe they are thinking, can I just go back home and have a life (call my friends, etc.) - because they probably don't have too much of a social life when they visit (no friends, etc)
