to thing that having child number 5 when living in a small 2 bed flat is unfair to all the children.

[byanymeans]

I totally understand that it is in all honesty none of my business how many kids people choose to have, as long as the parents can provide from them. However I really do find it a bit hard to get my head around how one family of 4 kids 2 adults could fit into a 2 bed flat before but last week they came home with baby number 5.

I just don't get how the parents feel this arrangement of 4 kids (oldest child is 13, some boy some girls) sharing a bed room is healthy. They must have no real play space or personal space. I just don't understand why you would want to bring another child into that?

I feel so sorry for the new couple who live below to as the noise from so many feet run around must drive them mad. I don't think that any one has lasted more the 9 months in the flat bellow for years.

I just don't understand they see nothing wrong this having still more without moving it?s not fair on any of the kids.

And you want me to search back and read them ......lol.....get a life.

Was it the question about having a mortgage or renting?

Neither is better than the other for bringing up a child.

[Mortgage better for parents because at least there is an end date]

Bedroom each is what is important.

If you're not a troll, you're a moron. Is it only the UK that children need their own bedrooms, or are you telling us that families shouldn't have any children if they don't have a bedroom wing on their mud huts or shanty villas?

Quite frankly I am not interested in any other country or how they drag their children up in mud huts and continue to have children one after the other and expect other countries to help them financially.

It is only me [and a few others on this thread] that thinks having a lot of children in one bedroom it not right..

As you say I cannot answer that one because I don't know anyone that never had their own rooms.

Ah, so you're xenophobic and a bit racist too? No surprise there.

Just say what I mean and don't beat around the bush being politically correct.

Wish more people were like that.

Sadly not so.

Having my own room had nothing to do with who I am today.

But children having space or their own room is what this thread is about after all.

And to end it and answer the OP

NO YOU ARE NOT BEING UNREASONABLE.

full of negativity...............lol, have you seen my thread looking for some people that are happy cause they are few and far betweeen on here.

I am glad your happy, so am I thanks.

People who say 'I say what I mean' 'I speak my mind', 'I dont beat around the bush' 'I am not politically correct'

are always rude, rarely have much of interest to say and think political correctness gets in the way of them having a laugh about darkies and cripples.

If I have nothing of interest to say why are you still here talking to me.

I rather think that mrschips doth protest too much

I too have never known anyone who shared a room, apart from my db and I for a year when our parents were building an extension.

I think sharing when young is fine but when older not so great.

Aand 7 people in a 2 bed flat? Think that would be horrible for the dc (in terms of not having own space, noise, nowhere to concentrate on homework, just be on your own etc).

Please answer the question with regard to multiples.

As I said, we have a small ,cozy house. (Huge yard, though, and very close to parks etc.) We have three very small bedrooms. DH and I have one. DS has one. I am hoping to conceive our second DC this year sometimes. What if it's multiples? We should attempt to sell our house and move out of a lovely area just so the DC can have their own room? Should I abort down to one? Do tell, mrchips , I look forward to your wisdom.

Goodbyemrchips. You are quite the fucktard aren't you.
We are lucky in that we bought out house before the property prices went nuts.
We were looking for a 3 bed when this 4 bed came up for sale in our price range.
I grew up in a council house & shared a room with my sister till I was 16 & the council rehoused us.
There is a huge lack of social housing.
