Can people share stories of renting and having children? How did you tell your landlord etc?
The people we know all seem to have brought houses before having kids - and while this would have been ideal, this wasn't an option for us. We're now ready to buy something, but unlikely to get it all sorted before baby comes in the summer.
Our well meaning friends all said how good it was that we were buying before having children because it's a nightmare renting with children (not that they know as all own) as landlords can kick you out as babies breach contract and it's 'so difficult' to get a mortgage with a baby it'll be impossible..(some don't even know we're pregnant because not wanting to share yet)
Are they right?
Half of my brain rationalises that people must rent with children, but also - we don't seem to know anyone that does, so it's really difficult to not feel like we're isolated and that this is such an unusual situation..
Help please.
