Sharing rooms didn’t feel like an option if we wanted them to stay sane and cope. They ended up thriving, but our home was a peaceful oasis, a place to regroup and center. It might have been full of dogs and cats (grounding agents and love bombs) but it wasn’t full of screaming kids from the neighborhood. Decompressing seemed more important than socialization, time after time.
That sounds a very wise choice to me. ‘Decompressing’ is a great word! I’m sure The Snacking Sage will be pleased to read your comments.
