DP and I are ready to move in with each other, we believe our DC would be fine with the idea in theory. We haven't raised it with them yet, and will do so gradually, but we need to decide on the probable details before we talk to them about anything,
The problem is that we would realistically have to move one family into the other's house, rather than start anew. I'm really worried that this will feel wrong to all the children - one set would have to leave their home and go through the upheaval of moving, and the others might feel like their home had been taken over / had guests in it.
Anyone got any advice or tips on what worked or didn't work if you did this please? I think we are going to have to wait, possibly for years, and we will do that if that's what's best for the DC but any thoughts on this would be helpful in case I'm missing out on a solution. Thanks.
