[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm mainly interested if you had kids (I have 2 teens; it'll be 50/50 custody).  Did you already have the home acquired and furnished before you told the kids? Did you live there unfurnished for a while? How'd you get the kids' rooms set up? Dishes, pots & pans, glasses, coffee maker, utensils, first aid, laundry and cleaning supplies, small appliances, pantry stock, paper products ... [b]so many little things go into making a well-functioning, comfortable household.[/b] Anything else I should know or think about logistics or planning?

If it matters, I'm leaning toward buying something right away so there's stability.[/quote]

Indeed! It is a lot of little things. Did your wife take care of them for you so you could be Mr. Important Job Man?

Look, this isn't really difficult. Make a list and take measurements. Then go to the store. Plan on two trips. The fact that you're casting about for guidance says that it's maybe too hard for you (ADHD maybe?) or that you think you shouldn't have to do it, but you can't figure out who has to do it for you, so you're mentally stuck. The answer is to suck it up and get it done.

Don't be like my dad, who genuinely thought Santa delivered Christmas morning breakfast and after presents were opened there was a long awkward pause and then some cereal. I love my dad but i.lost a lot of respect for him that day.[/quote]
