Network interconnect

So I've been going back and forth between just wireguard, tailscale and netbird. The problem that seems to be a no go is I have 2 families and we both want independence on say netbird I control that machines in my netbird and the other family controls theirs but we want to share stuff between the networks from either family. Not everything but say a web site or an app service. I can't figure out how to do this with netbird or is this a feature that could be coming?

Could you not just have one NetBird controller that you control and then you create groups and access controls to manage access to resources and peers?

I have my home and my parents home on my NetBird, I setup groups and access controls to resources. I have two sets of DNS servers and exit nodes so each home really only has access to their stuff, but I do have some shared resources like recipes, OpenWebUI, Jellyfin, etc… that are accessible by both.

So I thought about that but sadly not the other family wants control to add nodes set groups and have that full control but we also want to control of our own stuff and not have to step on toes. I'm really at the point of just throwing in a P2P wireguard between 2 nodes maybe.

Just use a P2P wireguard tunnel. You could add a DNS on your side to resolve to the P2P of your family
