To worry about having small house for DC?

[Turquoiseflamingos]

Probably a daft thing to worry about but does anybody else sometimes worry that their home is small and the children may be teased as they encounter wealthier classmates?

Obviously I'd love to think that by the time they reach secondary school we'd be in position to move somewhere bigger but for now the house is tiny.

Aibu?

Sorry I thought you meant that you just wanted another child and your housing situation was preventing this.

As for comparing yourself to others I am a strong believer in once you start comparing yourself to what others have around you then it will only lead you to regret what you aren't instead and haven't got instead of enjoying who you are and the things you are blessed with.

I'm sure your DC will look back and wish the same for their own children, happily at the life and things you did give them. x

Another child would be lovely but unfortunately can't happen due to the housing situation :) However much people say you can have 6 children in a 1 bed flat, I just feel in our particular case it isn't fair to them. If I could guarantee Dc2 would be another girl, possibly but I can't of course.

Have had three teenagers..friends in such a variety of house ,, from massive palace style things to very very basic rented houses...spotless ones to chaotic ones. They never passed a single comment .. .. .. They didn't like houses they could hang out in and especially the ones they got food in! Our own is an in-between one bit messy but not too much so. I fed their teenage friends especially the boys..they all come here very happily. They sleep on floors and couches nothing fancy..they just like to be together .. .. .. It's totally not an issue.

We lived in a small terraced house whilst nearly all of my dd's friends were very wealthy and lived in mahoosive houses. She is now 24 and has told me that out of all of her friends she feels she had the best childhood and wouldn't change a thing
