My parents did this, one does not follow the other, most of the time it's just the two of them knocking about in a huge house, rare that there's a big enough event to justify many people travelling from all corners of the country.
We need more bedrooms but not necessarily more space, therefore kitchen/ receptions usually feel a bit pokey in anything we've looked at.
if we move to a smaller house the kids might spend less time with us
I think this is deffo a thing. My parents moved from Walthamstow to Chigwell and into a smaller house and I see them less. It could also be that I don't really like their house too though...
