Explaining to a toddler

[Stars1979]

Im recently separated and partner about to move out. I have no idea how to explain to a 2.5 year old that Daddy wont be living at our house anymore. Is it wrong to just let my partner take her to his place once settled, toys and fun there and mention daddys place or her other home without saying the actual situation. She is extremely switched on but obviously still so very young, i dont want to bamboozle her with adult explanations or put any of my worry onto her. I just want her to be ok and maybe thats just playing there, the new routine and saying daddys place. She may ask daddy not living at our house anymore? Then i can say something?? Any help would be appreciated.

I think you're on exactly the right track. Shoulder all the worry and the emotional stuff exactly as you're planning.
Happy voice. Daddy getting a new house. New bedroom for you. Etc etc.
Answer questions when they come. Stay age appropriate. Keep answering them. Don't project.
It sounds like you instinctively know all this.

Thank you so much for the response. He is staying elsewhere currently so he is seeing our daughter at our (my) house in the week and then taking her to his family one day on the weekend. So the timings of seeing my ex will stay the same but it will just move to his place during those contact times so it will be new routine. He seems to think she will be fine and i of course I hope im worrying about nothing, but I want it to be ok for her and im trying to explain getting toys there will help. I very much doubt he will get a bedroom set up just yet sadly, this would be my priority, if it were me. Hoping some toys and a new place might be exciting for her in itself. I think she will try to ask why daddy not at her house but ill just have to as you say, keep it light and say there are two houses, how exciting. I just sort of wondered if i was being weak by not saying "you are going to daddys house now" rather than letting her go there first, experience a nice time there first (hopefully) and refer to it after as this. That was longwinded sorry, im a bit anxious about it and really dont want to project onto her.
