Just buy a 5 bed......

[InBedBy10]

.......This was said repeatedly on another thread, where the OP was trying to figure out bedroom situations with kids and step kids.

Am I the only one who thinks Mumsnet is breathtakingly out of touch? Most people I know have struggled to get a basic 3 bed. Alot cant even get that. Casually telling someone to "just buy a 5 bed" , like its so easy is down right moronic in my view. The housing crisis is well publicised. You cant be that stupid!

It's pretty easy not to have 5 kids, or blend families. I only have a 3 bed so I had fewer kids.

To be fair, some of the posters were pointing out that a bigger house was needed if the two families were to blend successfully. They weren’t saying that the big house was necessarily affordable. But it might have been if other compromises were made, such as a new build with tiny bedrooms or dividing up the largest room.
