I wasn´t sure where to post this but I think it is a parenting issue of sorts...
I am considering moving to a 2 bedroom flat with 2 Ds 3 yrs and 9 mos but have my concerns.
Firstly on a positive note I really like the idea of being somewhere very secure, low maintenance and most importantly it would be a place I could afford outright with the money from my divorce settlement.
However I am concerned that a lack of space and not having a garden would be detrimental to my children, especially as they get older. I have always thought of a garden as being almost a necessity when you have children although that may only be in an ideal world...is it really that important?
I could maybe get a small house in a worse area in order to have a garden but I am certain it wouldn´t be that big and I am put off by potential maintenance issues, not to mention having to stretch myself economically...and I don´t really want to rent - help
Am I being selfish?
