We use Xabber on our android phones, and I use Pidgin on my laptop. It works well enough, though Xabber is a bit annoying as it leaves a notification on the screen all of the time. Pidgin also doesn't come with OTR natively for some reason.

Thanks for the link! I'll definitely look over it again when I finally decide to set a server up.

It's free on F-Droid and there are a couple of free forks and rebuilds. It's also available for the Google Play family library (so it's one buy for moderate sized families).

However Daniel really took XMPP and ran with it: That XMPP is still feasible is in no small part thanks to him, so if you can spare the money that's a simple way to show appreciation.
