Sorry not babies - houses.

Hi everyone. We're thinking of buying a house but it's number 13! This doesnt' bother me but I just wondered if it might cause problems if / when we decide to move. So....do you or would you live in a house with the number 13 on the door?

[Deborahf]

Wouldn't cause me a problem. My ds has his birthday on the 13th - you can imagine some people's reaction on Friday 13th!!! Seriously, though wouldn't be a problem for us.

Wouldn't bother me kizzie, if it was a nice house I don't think it would cross my mind.

[ionesmum]

It wouldn't bother me either, in fact I grew up in no. 113 and my parents still live there after over 30 years! If you want to you could always give the house a name instead.

[Willow2]

Yes I do and no it doesn't. This is the happiest house I've lived in and everyone comments on what a good "feel" it has.

[Scuba]

Definately agree it's all cultural. I don't know if it's possible in the location your living and I know it's not to everyone's taste but if ti really bothers you could you substitute a name instead

Hmm, not sure, actually. I think I would be a little uncomfortable, but then if it's the right house...?

I've lived in two number 13s. The first, unhappily (my then boyfriend announced he was gay, after a 5 year relationship!!) and my current flat where I have had two lovely children. We're in the process of selling the flat, now and had an offer within a week of putting it on the market.

Don't worry Deborahf here in Greece its Tuesday 13th that is unlucky.Friday 13th means nothing...

[kizzie]

Thanks all for responding!!
I'll let you know what happens.

[Jaybee]

Wouldn't bother me although I don't tend to be supersticious (sp?) - our street does not have a no. 13 - jumps on the odd side from 11 to 15.

[Copper]

We lived at a no 13 very happily, and one of the best things that ever happened to me arrived on Friday 13th - my ds is a Friday 13th child. She used to get terribly upset when teachers etc made thoughtless comments about 13.

[Chinchilla]

My ds was born on Friday 13th too! Someone told me that it was lucky if you have a big occasion on that date, but I think that they were trying to make me feel better!

Anyway, it's only a date. After checking ds's head for a '666', we relaxed!!!
