Joe Giudice reflects visiting their reality star mom in prison has kind of grown "routine" for his four young daughters and they now share everything with her on their trips from pictures to homework.

Teresa Giudice is currently serving out the remainder of her 15-month sentence on bank fraud charges at the Danbury Correctional Facility and Joe recently talked with E! Online about the impact her being away has had on his family.

"We sit down and we talk," he said. "There's a snack menu and venues or whatever that you buy from and the kids go crazy because it's like one big room there, so they got a little toy room but they get a little antsy, you know, the young ones."

According to Joe, the vast majority of the near three hour long visits are spent with the whole family huddled together, but for the last 15 minutes or so he admits he just kind of sends the kids away and he and his wife "just hang out."

Joe hints the hardest part of all may be leaving the facility with his children while Teresa is forced to stay behind.

"I have a harder time saying goodbye than they do," he said. "Well, now it's, you know, better, but I mean ... when you go to her in the beginning, it's rough, you know, watching her stay there. It sucks. But what are you gonna do? It's almost over, thank God."

Teresa is scheduled to be released sometime around Christmas time and has already signed on to rejoin the cast of "Real Housewives." Bravo network officials are rumored to have delayed filming on the new season in hopes of being able to include her in as many scenes as they can.

After Teresa is released, Joe is slated to begin serving out the terms of his 41-month sentence on similar charges.
