Kids going between houses as older teens/ young adults?

Just interested really. Got 2 mid teens and a primary age dc.
At the moment we organise the nights between us adults but I've already said to my older ones that they're always welcome to stay at home if they don't feel like going to their dads (he can be challenging to put it politely).

Just wondering what do peoples dc's do when over 18? Stay in one place or still go back and forth and is it on their terms?

Any teen over about 14 should decide when and where they go imo. Usually at that age they want one hone, the ability to go to other parents when they wish, and to have full flexibility depending on friends/sports/hobbies etc

at ovet 18 it’s 100% up to them!!

When I separated from ex-DH, DS was about 17 and he’d just wander between us randomly. He’s got a room and bathroom on his own floor at his dad’s so he generally stays there if he’s out partying as he won’t disturb anyone when he comes home worse for wear!
