[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe. 
1. How does your brother and his spouse feel about it?
2. Do all the cousins get along well enough?
3. Can your brother afford this?
4. Do you all have similar parenting styles? I would be livid for example, if someone spanked my kid. Discipline, food, screens, homework, bedtimes, gifts/spoiling, manners, etc.
5. Are your scheudles staggered enough that you'll actually provide childcare for each other? [/quote]

1. We considered it when he was evaluating law schools, and a few in DC w on his list. I think they'd be totally on board for at least some period of time.
2. Cousins are preschool age now and get along well. Remains to be seen how that relationship will evolve and change as they get older.
3. If he had a job, yes. It would probably be less than renting a 2 bed apt.
4. Similar for the most part. I could see us addressing our differences and creating house rules to make sure we all agree on basic stuff. They don't speak and use gentle discipline much like us. We stricter on manners, they're stricter on food, but we're not too far apart.
5. I would only expect child care for date nights and such unless my SIL decided to become a SAHM and actually wanted to do that. She nannied for a bit before kids, but has an office job now. I don't expect her to provide child care, although if we decided to get a nanny or au pair, we could possibly share the cost. [/quote]
