Look at Jess, as I said earlier, I don't see the point in her buying a house that's close to a step below of what she currently rented. I'd say the arrangements as they where with their kids sharing rooms was ok for the moment (I know unpopular opinion) and I thought the whole point of her moving again and buying that house was to get two things done at once: becoming a home-owner and making more space for more kids as they get older. I'd say that was a pretty big fail from that point of view. So don't feel bad, just because you don't have everything planned out yet, because when you do, you most likely take the space your kids need into consideration, which makes for a better house in the end.broooooke wrote:I think the house is ugly and the filthy. But, I have no room to talk because I'm a renter. When I'm finally ready to buy, I have much higher standards than that.
I don't feel there is enough bedroom space at all. I can't imagine as the kids get older. I am about to have 3 kids(all under 6) in a 3 bedroom house that I rent and I'm having anxiety about space as they get older. My two older sons share a room, which is quite big, bigger than the master. So there will be a ton of space with bunk beds, but it will probably only work until my oldest is 10, maybe 12. I guess it depends on his personality.
Also, I have a friend who had to share a room with her brother since she was little, but as they got older their parents decided to put up a wooden wall in the middle of the room, so that each of them had their private space, not only visually, but they could decorate their part like they wanted and live just like they would next to each other in seperate rooms, so that could be an option as well.
Well, thank you! I guess I feel that way because I don't know the home buying process whatsoever. So I'm criticizing her for not doing better and picking a house with the same amount of room space but maybe she couldn't have done better. I don't know what it takes to buy a house.
But for me personally, when I make the biggest purchase of my entire life.. it's gonna be nearly everything I want or I'm not buying it. I don't understand the rush for young people to buy houses, not only on Jess's part but even people I know personally. The house I could afford now, is not a house I want to live in for the rest of my life. I understand the equity part, but myself at 24 years old.. I'm just not ready for that. Plus I don't like the state I live in lol.
got to keep up with tradition after all!
