CHANGE
For some,change is very hard to accept. Others embrace it and welcome change. Change can come in many forms; some good, some bad. My family and my closest friends have decided to live under the same roof. To the "normal" person, this would be considered insane. How can 11 people with 11 different personalities possibly survive under the same roof? I can honestly say sometimes it is not easy. There are other times when you think why didn't we think of this before?
There are 11 people in a 3 bedroom home, 5 adults and 6 children ranging in ages from 14 to 5. Each of these people are different in how they do things. In the short run, the children think some many things are unfair. In the long run, these same kids are luckier than most children. They have the love of not just 2 adults, but all 5 of the adults would do anything for these kids.
These kids get the best of both world. They do not have to spend time in daycare. There is always a person home to see how their day was and to help when problems may arise. Trust me, problems will come. It seems easier to deal with these problems as a whole instead of just one or 2 people. This may not work, but the only reason it wouldn't is because the 11 people in this house didn't want it to work.
IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS, THIS WAS PROBABLY A BETTER DECISION MADE BY ALL ADULTS IN THIS UNUSUAL HOME.

I agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying.....the six children are luckier than most....they do have the love of not just two people, but five.....who could ask for more? I know that things are going to arise and make all of those involved want to pull their hair out, but I wouldn't have the living arrangement any other way....it was a decision that was made with the best interests of the children in mind......besides, it beats the hell out of having to have the kids in daycare for any stretch of time......YIPPEE!!!!
