Really hate my house, I feel like a precious princess

[CalculatingSuccess]

The house just gives me bad joo-joo.

We have lived here for 18 months and I still hate it. I feel dread every time I come home. None of the furniture fits, but I can’t afford to replace or buy new bits. I don’t have my own bedroom-I sleep in with my youngest dd. I have tried all my usual tricks to make it homely and I just can’t. We rent. It is dark and cramped and although it is in a nice area I just hate it.

Would I be ridiculous looking for somewhere else? It is so stupid, I think I’m the problem, not the house, but surely it should feel like home after 18 months?

If you hate it, look for somewhere else - that's an advantage of renting, as long as you can find another place you are not stuck indefinitely waiting for your house to sell. Sleeping with your DD doesn't sound ideal at all.

You're not precious at all. The house I lived in when first married I absolutely hated, I still feel horrible when I think about it.

Sometimes we make mistakes, that was one.

Try to find somewhere else but take your time about it, be sure it is what you want.

Good luck.

Oh goodness this is how I feel after 4 months! Do you still hate it?

@Mumof52 , still here, still hate it. I can’t find anywhere of the same size for the same money though, we need to pay at least £50 a month more to move anywhere at all, which is a lot of money to me at the moment. Not to mention the cheaper houses are only on the market for 2 or 3 days. I’m just really struggling to find anywhere that we can go!

I’m so sorry that you hate your house too. Is there anything specific about it that you can pinpoint, or is it just the vibe in general? Xx

Oh bless you. I was really hoping you were going to say you had settled. I hate the road the parking not keen on the house tbh! I think we rushed into it and unfortunately we have a mortgage that’s quite big so can’t afford to move yet. It’s really depressing me and I’m just regretting it! What about you? X
