Currently living with my 16- and 18-year-old in the house we lived in with their dad. He still has his OW and I have a boyfriend and I'm wondering how it works with new partners when your children are big. Now the boyfriend just visits me with the odd overnight stay, and the kids just visit their dad, so the kids have their own home and (mostly) privacy.
But at some point I guess I'll want to live with someone, and their dad will too. I just can't imagine moving anyone in permanently with the kids - because they are basically adult it seems somehow more of an awkward invasion of their privacy/home than if they were small. They like my current boyfriend but obviously also find it less comfortable when he's there. And I imagine he might find it weird to move into my ex's house and bed...
I don't want to make them find their own place soon; my daughter is taking a year out volunteering then thinking of going to a local university, so might be around a good while and her younger brother will probably also stay in education for a while yet.
This isn't an urgent situation, there's no rush for anyone to move; I'm just wondering about the future and curious as to how it has worked out for others.
