Ok, obviously none of you know my parents, so you can't comment on it specifically, but we are thinking of joining forces for a move to a gorgeous little village with perfect little school, playground, pub etc - everything I want for my family, and by us living in close quarters it would enable us to make the move a lot sooner (for various reasons) and to secure a place in the particular village we have fallen for.
We all get on very well and they are very respectful of our space etc, and it would mean childcare on the doorstep (which would help me A LOT with work as I have varied hours). And I think DH and I are mature enough these days to work through any friction that came up (as I'm sure it might on occasion) without a blazing row and one family storming off to the estate agents...
But I am aware that I might be looking at it with rose-tinted glasses because it is a way of getting the life we want, and I might be missing some obvious pitfalls...
Has anyone else done something similar and got any advice??
TIA
