Well, currently I have them 4/14 nights. This will hopefully change to 6/14 by fall, and 7/14 next summer. But next summer I hope to get something bigger. So for one year we can handle a lot.

It isn't ideal. My son is 11, for him to share a room with two younger sisters deprives all of them of privacy, but I feel he'd benefit from it. But right now they're doing ok with it.

Ultimately I'm not too worried. I actually see the benefit of them staying close as a family right now, being humble and minimalistic, and being appreciative of what we do have.

Not sure that answers much, but really everything is going just fine. Now that you mentioned it it's pretty amazing how well everyone is doing. That's not denial, we have our setbacks. But the world isn't crumbling, and in fact we're closer than ever.
