DBing European Style, part 2

25yrs - What a great post, and P4L has a huge amount to work with here and absorb - as have I.

I have no experience yet of how to handle this, but agree that leaving telling the kids until as late as possible is the best idea. People keep telling me the kids will be fine, they will adapt etc. I agree with that a certain amount, but don't agree in dragging them along for the ride. Kids should have a worry free life in my opinion (plenty to worry about later in life!), so they don't need to know anything, until something definite happens
