you wouldn't all fit in my tiny house
I know. Me and G would have the house next door and the boys could have your spare room and visit me on Sundays for an hour.
You've got beds at least.
Should I move or stay put?

we have and no boys are going anywhere near them
I hope you told him off? My mum would have been utterly furious with me
No, I couldn't! He's too cute and if you'd watched him trying to stutter his explanation out about what he was trying to do you wouldn't have been able to tell him off either.
It's only a bed after all. I'll get another one from somewhere.
Can't one of the boys do it?
What? The lawns? No, they are too young (and stupid) to use electric mowers. Mind you, there's a teenage lad up the road who is probably capable.
this is where you and I are very different
you're too soft
Why? It was an accident! He hardly went upstairs thinking "Oh, I think I'll just go and break my bed".

Mike, I do not want a fucking goat ok?
What am I supposed to do with it when I'm away? Put it in the kennels with the dog?
FFS - leave it in the garden keeping the grass under control.
stay
With or without goats though DC?
the kids are of utmost importance and having good neighbours is impt also
stay and make modifications to your current house if you can, that is a good compromise

Yeah, yeah DC - all good advice, but what about the goat?

If you have more space and less money than you need, take in a lodger?
I've not got the space for a lodger and I wouldn't like someone else in the house anyway.
It was more to do with a change of scene than the money (although I'd like to put some money away for the kids when they are older) but I think staying put would be more sensible atm. 
2 suggestions about the lawn:
1) Advertise for a student or pensioner to do your lawn once a fortnight.
2) Keep a pair of guineapigs (less good at escaping than rabbits) and provide them with a large catproof run on the lawn (meshed-over top, meshed sides, too narrow for paws to get through, heavy enough that it won't blow over and so that cats etc can't tip it or push it). Okay, you'll need to feed them every day (they'll need something as well as the grass, particularly in winter) and the hutch needs cleaning out every week, but they crop grass beautifully (including eating dandelions & dockleaves), and the waste from the hutch is v good for compost heaps.

Moving on might be made a lttle easier if you completely redecorate, so that you can walk around thinking 'this is where I painted the skirting boards at 2am because I just wanted to get it over with,' rather than 'this is where my husband painted the skting boards.'
If you could get the money, maybe you could put an extension in the garden, too - then your boys wouldn't have to share a room and there wouldn't be quite so much to mow.

Greebo, no guinea pigs ta! The dog would eat them.
Scifisam, I've had a rejig of bedrooms (painted a pink one blue actually!) and the boys each have their own room now. I don't want to go into any debt to extend but I'll probably redecorate the place. I'll probably want to stay after doing all that work.
