I DONT WANT TOOOOO!!!!!

[CornishPastyPirate]

I feel like an ungrateful dick
We are in a rented house that’s falling apart and too small but I love it,been hear 14yrs and the location is perfect
We are moving in two weeks too our very own home but it’s a 10-15 min drive away ( I don’t drive we walk everywhere we need to but husband drives)
The new house is ours
It’s bigger
It’s lovely
BUT I just don’t want to go!!! I can’t even bare to pack up! It’s breaking my heart but there are 6 of us in a two bed,we can’t even sit down together it’s so small,our dining room is a bedroom now!!
Husband is sad that I’m sad because he’s so excited
I just can’t…….

I disagree with this.
Many people all across the world live in very small houses, this seems to me to be an ignorant thing to say.

Yeah they do, and it sucks. Billions also live in poverty. Billions used physical punishment against kids. Just because people do something doesn't make it good.

Overcrowding is unpleasant, even though other people live live that too

[quote Mellowyellow222]@carefullycourageous yes some people live in very cramped conditions - and I am sure that is challenging but they make the best of it.

Four children sharing a bedroom must be difficult - the teen years would be brutal. Homeworks and puberty and friends visiting and sleepovers.

Neglectful was maybe not be best choice of words - but it is clearly in the best interests of the children to move to a larger house[/quote]
Because the dining room is a bedroom now, I assumed it was two kids per bedroom? If so that is really not that unusual, and non eof this is neglectful.

The word used was 'neglectful' - it is not neglectful to have children share a bedroom.

Share a bedroom is not in the same league as physical punishment and you deserve a for comparing it to that.

Loads of very happy families have kids that share a bedroom.

I think the bigger house will be positive, and more space is always welcome - but the kids are not being neglected. It was an inappropriate word.

Sure, it isn't always (but it can be). And I didn't say it's the same, clearly you lack comprehension. Just because something is widely done, doesn't make it ok.

6 people in a two bed (did I read that right) is a lot. It wasn't me who called it neglect so do move along, dear.

I left my nest for a new bigger one (not our dream house, but we had a cash buyer that we didn't dare lose when we couldn't find the perfect house) when my DDs were just 2, and 3 years old. The house we moved to had been left filthy, there was traffic noise that I hadn't had before, my eldest was poorly, and I was so upset that I went to look in the estate agents window that evening for somewhere else. I didn't want to unpack and felt sick with regret for what felt like ages.

I'm still in that house more than 30 years later. And would hate to leave it.

It's okay to miss your old place for a while, but the new place will be your home before long.

Move along yourself, dear.

Six in a two bed? Jesus. Get your stuff packed and get TF out of there.

It might be a good location but surely that’s all that’s good about it?

I’ve not read the whole thread and I’ve had it open a while, but do you normally email against changes
