To give up my social house as myself and the kids do not have a life where we live?

We rent through housing, and we are unable to have a life here it has become a prison.

We have been asked to consider renting a house from the pil and live next door to them.

What do you think ?., I am running out of ideas.

Is oils in a heartbeat. I'm stuck like you but have no other way of getting out except giving up my house and moving into my parents house 300 miles away.

I could have written your op.

Jump at it and grab it with both hands.

Providing you can afford it and it will make you happier move.

Do you get on with the PIls?

If you can trust them and you get on ok with them, then it seems like a no brainer to take them up on the offer if none of you are happy and settled where you are.

Yes they are lovely, and it would be agreed we would lay some ground rules down before we moved there.

If it's really that bad where you are - then yes, do it.

Your present home is a prison. How much more wrong could it possibly get? Go.

"we are unable to have a life here it has become a prison."
What is stopping you from having a life? What needs to change? Can that be achieved without renting from the PILs, e.g. an exchange?

mrsjay · 07/05/2013 20:33

do it if your area is shit then just move, or ask for an exchange to a better area ?

We tried an exchange but kept being messed about, can not face it anymore just want to leave social housing altogether.

We have tried everything trust me, this at the moment means we could save more and I would be happier so would the children.

is it your house or your area you are unhappy with, I live in a social housing estate and it is lovely is your horrible ? what is happening that it is making you feel a prisoner ? if your husband doesnt want to rent from his parents you could go private let but TBH i would want to be somewhere secure and probably not as expensive
