We feel like terrible parents

We currently just moved out of my mother in laws house since she just recently bought a home, my sister in law offered us a room in her home but she is helping us look for a place of our own due to our income and credit it’s been hard to even get approved she recently spoke with a few of her fellow friends from church and one couple who has 5 kids has two extra rooms one they will be renting to a couple and she is willing to accept us as a family of 5 into her home in a bedroom. I feel so terrible because we just gave our kids moving and moving which is why I chose to homeschool my daughter till we have a stable home. The home with the couple they don’t smoke, drink or do any of that since the lady is just starting her daycare business so in order for us to live there we have to get our finger print done and background check which we don’t mind. But living in a home with strangers is gonna feel so weird, I don’t know how to explain to my daughter these things she is 6 years old, she gets excited every time I tell her we’re gonna go look at a room to see if it works out for us and she just thinks it’s a home for ourselves

Obviously it’s not an ideal situation, but children don’t understand the grownup situations like finances and such. You’re not bad parents. If you decide to go this route remember it is temporary but you should really try with everything in your power to create a safe and healthy environment for your family with your husband. 5 people in one room in a house with other people that’s about to be turned into a daycare HAS to be temporary. Like 3 months top. What part of California do you guys live in?

@Susan it definitely is temporary we aren’t sure exactly when or how long we will be there for😭😔our credit isn’t the best and they check credit everywhere not only that but you need to be making 2x -3x the income.. we have had a co-signer and they told us they don’t count them
