I told my kids that they could call me at any time, for any reason, if they didn't want to stay at their dad's house.

This was not an attempt to get them to rat him out. This was reassurance to them that if they ever didn't want to be there, they could count on me to come and get them. They never did, but I believe they felt more comfortable going over there knowing they had an out if he was drinking.

My kids were 13 and 9 at the time, so it was appropriate for their age.
