With my parents and sisters moving out here, there are going to be some big temporary changes in our family. They will be staying with us until they find a place to live. So in two weeks our family will grow from five to nine! It will likely be for at least a few months.
Any advice on how to not step on each other's toes would be appreciated! DH works on the road, so he's only home about three days a week over the weekend. We have a finished basement with one bedroom that is dd's. DD will be moving upstairs with one of her brothers. There are three bedrooms upstairs, our, and one each for the boys. I don't know if I should put all three of our kids in one bedroom, and let my sisters have the other. I'm not sure how well that will go over, I'm afraid my kids will keep each other up all night long! My parents will get dd's room downstairs. I could partition off a section of the basement to make a temporary bedroom for one or both of my sisters. Or one sister could sleep with one of my boys, and my dd could sleep with the other of my boys.
Oh, so many things to think about! They will start moving their things here this weekend, and in only two weeks will be living with us!!!

do they all live together now? if they do then give them the basement to live in. if needed have separate meal times , just eat one meal together a day. give each other's family days off; etc. one go off and let the other have the house for a day . share chores, etc.

This will take time to adjust to for sure and you know, by the time you all get it figured out they'll have found and place and be gone, LOL. Good luck with it all. I am sure you'll get it all worked out.
