I seem to remember some mates of mine at uni lived in a 10-person house on Newington Road...and the whole thing was wired with a LAN - you could fit everyone in there I'm sure! :P
Hey i'm a hippy at heart and not really seeing the problem.
Supportive knowledgeable environment for the kids to grow up in, sharing of household duties and reduced expenditure. Insta parties and always someone to play against on soul calibur IV
Ok so in actual fact it would be a desperate search for peace and quiet and personal space whilst I slowly go mental at the lack of order and rule and clean towels to the point where I kill them all in their sleep.
I guess the kids are too old to give the "Daddy's in a big time-out" explanation, huh?
How old are the little ones? You could simply say that "Mummy and Daddy are having trouble getting along, so right now we think it's best that we live apart." Something as simple as that might help them accept the situation--even if they don't understand the deeper issues.
It's my eldest child (8yrs) and ex-husband that are concerned and he and I get along great we just are not right together. We haven't been a couple for four and a half years now but my eldest still goes through phases of wanting us to be. He's a happy kid it's only ever a passing thought these days.
Now if my daughter asked (which she has) why I don't live with her dad then it's a whole different story (I refrain from retorting that it's cos daddy is a lying, cheating, insecure asshole who cares more about his social standing with young girls than he ever did his family).
We drove along in the car the other day and for no reason at all she told me that daddy used to love me. That was it just a stand alone statement and I wasn't quite sure where to go with it but she quickly found interest in a passing butterfly :D

So maybe not a good idea then :)
