Didn't mean to make 2.  How about some advice for moving in with BF.  My son and I are moving to BF's house in one month.  It's only about 10 minutes from my current apartment but rearraging his place, cleaning and painting and moving all our stuff there after we both get rid of some things will be a challenge I'm sure.  Not to mention the adjustment to living together.  He has never lived with a GF and I only lived with my ex... shoudl be interesting! 

Any advice you would like to share?

    My best advice is take it one thing at a time! When FI and I moved in together we just took it step by step...it's a total adjustment for everyone!  It might seem silly but we would just decide how our day was going to go and then work out a plan for the evening.  Once you get in groove it will just happen but until then you might end up having a lot of "Well at my house I did...." conversations.  haha

    Good luck!

    My advice for moving? "Sure, it happens... thats what gum is for right?"

    Good Luck! I had a friend at work who moved her entire house into her BF's condo..Talk about cramped! She said she had paths around the house because of the massive amounts of boxes. Take it one day at a time or one room at a time and try not to be overwhelmed about the move as a whole.

    I hope that it your home and not his home and that you don't feel like you are invading his space. Although FI had lived with gf's before there was some adjustments when I moved in. Maybe because this was the first place he owned adn I was the first girl to live in the house that he owned. But I felt and still sometimes feel like it is his house and not our house. He had his house full of his stuff when I moved in so its been a bit cramped. I can't wait until we buy a house and its our house. And I can have some decent sized closet space....

    Thanks all for the advice.  Glad I double posted and ended up asking... haha.

    I'm a planner and he's a fly by the seat of your pants kind of person so we are having some difficulty figuring out a timeline for the things that we need to get done before the big move but we know that we are moving all of my big stuff there June 19th.  Hoping to move some boxes and totes of things that I won't need right away before hand and then move the last of things on the 20th.  I'm admittedly stressing a little because it seems like a lot to get done and he's been so busy with the fire academy (one more week) and work that he doesn't really have the time to help me figure it all out so he just says you plan away babe... which doesn't ease my mind at all.

    Loopy, I kind of have that fear but he already refers to it as our house and calls my son and I his family so I'm hoping we don't have that problem.  Honestly I think the only reason that I have that fear is because of my ex though (he referred to our house that we purchased together after we were married and both of our names were on the deed as his when we argued... this was at the end of our relationship when I realized that he was a complete arse and had fooled me for years before and that I just needed to get on with my life because I was not okay with that especially when I worked FT and helped pay for everything we had).  I have an amazing man who loves me and my son and he wants us to move into his house and make it ours... I am so lucky!

    That's awesome that he already calls the house ours.

    FI doesn't do it to be rude, I am thinking it is just out of habit since he owned it for 3 years before I moved in. Then again it is his house, he bought it, he pays for it and honestly I don't pay any rent. So I guess by all fairness it isn't mine. I guess I just want to take some ownership for living there and keeping the lights on :)

    Good luck with the move!
