They are 5 and 10 and I don't think they have any idea there is anything wrong.
I am moving out to live four doors away in a rented house. DH is refusing to move out, although this is definitely what the children would prefer. We will have 50\50 care of them.
I am not sure how to tell them, and also how to deal with the early days. After we've told them, can I just start by 'going back to mummy's house' after they are in bed? I've read the book 'Putting children first' but the advice is really contradictory - on one page, it says to keep the daily routine the same as usual, on another, it says to keep to strict 'mummy' and 'daddy' days from the very beginning! I've no idea what to do!
