To wonder what you think is a reasonable living space for a family

[BelleMarionette]

For a family house, with children, what would you say is a reasonable number of square metres. I know the perception varies wildly.

For example, for a family with four children, how many square meters do you think would allow for reasonable living standards? How many for a family with two children?

When people have seen my house, they have either thought it was decently sized, or very small.

Ours in only 80m2 and is a huge struggle with 2 adults and 2 kids.
We are hoping to move in the next 18 months.

You have twice as many bathrooms as me, that probably explains it! Also we have a kitchen diner which I think feels bigger than a seperate dining room might just cos it's a big room.

Our house is pretty small. About the smallest 3 bed you could find with a small downstairs bathroom(no upstairs one). So about the size of a 2 bed really. We have 2 kids, so each do have their own room. We also have a good sized garden. Definitely feels inferior to most of mumsnet but plenty of people live in smaller homes. Mumsnet is full of people on high incomes and huge houses.

I am intrigued by this.

We have a new build town house 102 square metres and I am desperate to move because of the downstairs space ( or lack of it). The bigger my children get the worse it gets. I find the kitchen especially hard to cope with.
