[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. No I have not talked to them about how it makes me or them feel. Thank you for that input. I will sit down with them and talk about our feelings as well as theirs. I am also sad to sell. So many amazing memories here and longest I have ever lived any where but we are excited for the next chapter and of course our next home will be their home too. No matter where I live, my kids are welcomed with open doors[/quote]

I think this is the only way to go, OP. My parents sold their house when I was in my mid-30s and I was such a jerk about it. Finally, my mom told me that she was worried my father would have a heart attack one morning, shoveling out the walk. I was still living in a city condo and just didn’t understand how much work that place required.  I needed my mom to spell it out for me. Your kids are even younger so probably lack any perspective on this. Listen to their feelings and consider it a blessing that your home contains fond memories for them. Be patient, but firm. You are doing the right thing for you and your spouse. Good luck.[/quote]
