DS is only 7 and I dread the day he moves out :'(

We have council approval to build a granny flat on our property, and if DS wants to stay on the property, he can have our house and we will build our dream little granny flat.

That sounds like a lot of hard work to get them to move out Gert, I just changed the locks lol

You lock the door they come in the windows. ROFLMAO!

Nothing like a few renos as an excuse.

Dizzygirl after you go through the TEEN years you may change your mind if you don't lose it before.

DS 16 is talking about moving out in the next year or so. He has his head screwed on right so I think he will be fine when the time comes.
Now it's a fight on who will move into his room as he's the only one who dosnt share a room. I would love to make his room a study instead.
Do I make it a study and leave the other kids sharing rooms or do I let DS 14 move in there?
DS 14 shares with DS 5 and I think it would be good for him to have his own privacy. But DS 5 hates sleeping in a room by himself :(

Mcmich, don't even get me started about my husbands cousin and her family who invite themselves to stay over, dump a bag full of laundry for us to do as soon as they arrive, never offer to cook or clean and don't help in any way whatsoever and have now just had  the gall to invite  themselves to stay at our house when we aren't even going to be around. Aargh!!!! As if we would let them in our house when we're not there- they trash it even in our presence! I am so sick of selfish and ill mannered people.

Gosh we still have DD living at home. She doesn't have a partner and so is doing her buying of the block and building by herself. She has the block and is saving madly to pay cash for the house. She has her half of the house and we have the other. We all eat together and sit together of an evening. She helps round the house on weekends and is often buying me little gifts.
We love having her home as she house sits for us when we are away.
I will miss her when she shifts out though. I will have to be very brave and let her call the tune for visits.

Cookie - couldn't agree more - my two have flown but they know this is their home and welcome back for any reason and at any time -  They're both great and there's a lot I couldn't have done without their help and caring.

When they are good they are very very good cookie1. Sounds like a good situation for you all. If she ever wants to sit house and look after two dogs in Cairns let me know. I don't even want gifts.
