For those of you who have had to move your children to a new home:

-How much did it upset your established routines?
-Were there any problems with adjusting to the new home?



















































(-And what happened when the alpha grandparents and the beta grandparents switched places?)

It depends on how old your kids are. We just moved and my friend's 6-year old is adjusting fine right now, but school hasn't started yet so we can only wait and see.

It's as big of a deal as you make of it, generally. Your kids look to you to figure out how they should handle changing situations. If the move really throws off your routine, it will throw off theirs. If it makes you more stressed out it will do the same with them. If it makes you happier, it will likely do the same for them... That's been my experience, anyhow.

I vaguely remember moving (at age 10, 7 years ago) and it wasn't much of a traumatic time for my family (kids ages 3,8,10,11,12 at the time)
School would be the only thing that was problematic. It depends on the school but 'new kids' are generally either universally accepted, or universally rejected. I was accepted into the most popular clique, but when they realised they didn't much like me, I was passed down (almost literally) to the next highest clique, until I was the least popular kid at school.
I would recommend being as aware of what is going on with them as you can, but don't intrude overly into their social lives, just be there for support.

The move to E-City was a bit traumatic because we moved away from all the grandparents. It was tougher on Geoffry because he had to leave the school he had been at for four years.

I'm more worried about the move we'll eventually make when I get of school.
