How long would you live with a kitchen like this?

You have air fryer, microwave and 2 ring hob but no surface space. Food is stored in a plastic box. Plates etc in makeshift drawers. Fridge as normal. No oven.

There is ongoing work most weekends so the kitchen is difficult to keep clean. No dining space. No heating in winter. Obviously no plaster flooring etc.

Edited to add, you have a small baby who is bottle fed.

Help me understand if IABU!

I did it with 3 kids under 5 for 5 months during renovations, but it was a relief once it was over. Used the slow cooker instead of an air fryer but would have got an air fryer instead if I could have.

As long as I had to. If it's all you've got you just have to make the best of it.

Through choice? As long as it took me to get a decent kitchen fitted!

Hmm not very long. I love cooking and my kitchen and it's a big part of my life.

Well I am 2 1/2 years into a major renovation. Kitchen came out in Jan 2022 and it will likely be early 2025 before it goes back in 🤷🏽‍♀️

I couldn’t stand it! I’ve having takeaways and eating out! Why is it taking so long?
