Seeking parenting advice re road trip -- UPDATED: THE RV IS HERE!!!

I should be! I'm actually more in complete denial that I'm moving in a week! :)

Are you frozen from stress or is it just going to be fairly simple?

Probably both. I have anxiety, so change is always difficult for me. My usual [ineffective] coping strategy is procrastination and denial. At the end of the day, it's probably not going to be a huge deal. We already live in a small space, so it's not like we are downsizing from a 3000 sq. foot home, and I have my husband and housekeeper to help out. So, thankfully, I am not doing this alone. I am sure the reality will hit me when this enormous beast pulls up outside my front door!

Well, that sounds pretty normal. Personally, I think minimizing the pain is not such a bad strategy lol. Probably better for your children to do it all at once intensively at the end, anyway. With any luck, the upset from the move will be tempered somewhat with the excitement. Easier to be excited about a giant reality than a plan. : ) good luck!

This is something I am thinking about trying.

SeaConquest, I saw you on another post and that reminded me about your RVing. How is it going?
