AIBU to feel jealous of families with gardens in summer?

AIBU to be jealous of the people who have gardens in this heat and summer in general?

I’m a single parent with a 5 year old and we live in a block of 10 flats. There’s no balcony, only a tiny small shared garden or more of a courtyard actually. And everytime summer comes around I’m so jealous of people posting their gardens and kids in a paddling pools with mud kitchens and generally having a great time.
I know 100% people will say “just move!!” but sometimes it’s not that easy. I definitely had a look into it but now, at this very moment it’s not possible. I just wish i could give my child the joys of outdoor space and a pool and not relying on always going out when it’s so bloody hot and it’s not even enjoyable .

I totally get it! One thing that works really well is a small blow up sand tray. Put in on a towel and either use it as a hair salon/spa for barbies/dolls but of shampoo and conditioner and my little one will play for hours, or a car wash for all of their toy cars

Do they come in your house and use your toilet too. Mi would have thought this was a safety risk unless you know the people well.

YANBU but you could go to the park and take some kind of shade / sun umbrella for some outdoor time? I realise it's not the same and we're lucky to have a good size garden

How the heck is this helpful or kind, for OP to hear!?
