writes:Cupid readers, this is my question. I am 21 living with my parents. My 3 year old also lives with us. She was raised with my mom and dad around every day! I am now in a relationship and we're getting married. This man is not her father, he was never in the picture. The only man in her life is my dad.. I'll be moving in with him in about a month. We'll be about 10 min away from home. My question, please tell me the easiest way to make this transition for my 3 year old? Reply to this Question

2dareANDdream is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thank you for your response. She and I talk about it daily and she has seen the new house. She loves spongebob and I asked her if she wanted to do a spongebob theme for the bedroom and she was sooo happy. I also told her she could have her very own bathroom and she asked me is she could have her own bath tub and that was just the best thing I could have ever told her. She loved that...
Thank you soooooooo much... She is also finding out she is goin to be a big sister. =)

My suggestion would be to TALK to her as much as you can before you move. Tell her exactly what is going on, she understands more than you know and that way, when it happens, it won't be a shock for her. Tell her how nice the new place will be, and give her something fun to focus on for when after you move. Tell her she can get a new bed spread or paint her room, or whatever, something that you know she will like. Then, she will look forward to it.
You can let the new guy work his own way around the new relationship they'll have, but if she misses her grandpa, she can always call him on the phone or go around for a quick visit!
