He told Elsie there are going to be big changes when he comes back, and now he's casually referencing spending his day with her - he's trying to prep her for the change by easing her into the reality of him having another woman in his life - it's the kindest thing he can do if he intends for BW to be a part of his life. I'm not even saying she (Elsie) shouldn't be upset - it's upsetting! She's 8 and Mommy and Daddy have been the foundation of her world. But he's not "taking things out" on her. I suspect AE is still giving her kids hope he'll come back, so she can throw their continued disappointment in his face. I seem to remember she promised them he'd be home for Christmas this year. He's insistent on not setting foot in that house anymore, so I doubt he would. It seems like she's making promises on his behalf so he can "break" them and the kids get antagonized against him further.
