Get everything in writing. Which family is going to pay what, sort out tax and insurance. Who is going to decide about holidays if it doesn't suit the other famiily. What if one child is ill, is the other family happy for their child to be with a sick one? I have done 2 shares and it can be a minefield. Good luck with it.
