So talking to wife about her moving out. She had an offer from her mom to move in however that wouldn't work as my 8 year old is pretty allergic to mil's cat.

Now I had an idea. If waw wanted to, she could live at her mother's for half the week without children, other half here at our house. When she is here for her 'custody' time, i would be gone, either also at mil's or possibly my father's.

Would save some trauma for the kids, would save us a ton of money. However, it does relive the waw of the burden of the whole moving scenario, expense, hardships involved. If i was to pursue this idea, would it rob her of the experience of escaping, the sense of space she needs? Would the situation of living at her mother's be too familar? Lacking the shock of a 'real move' and potentially the (good for me) understanding that living alone would be hard?
