By Jae Lewis — Last updated on Apr 09, I had planned to keep renting in the same area and buy an investment property in a more affordable regional area. When the housing market took a dive, I realized I could afford to buy a small apartment in a cool inner-city area. It would be a great investment for sure — but wait — what if I actually lived in it? Jo jumped at the chance to live a cool inner-city life every other week. But the plan was not just about two middle-aged parents attempting to relive their carefree youth — it also had a solid child focus.

As much as I love my step children I wouldn't want their little feet in my back while I'm sleeping. It happens every time they spend the weekend there, they sleep on duvets on the floor in a row. Dad, stepmum, DD, DS in that order. I found out because DD complained she had not had enough sleep because DS had kept stealing the duvet. On questioning them both it seems this is the standard sleeping arrangement every time they visit.
