per person have you got more or less space in your home than growing up?

[Memebeingme]

more , less people

More. I grew up in a very small semi, DB had a tiny little cell and no room for a dining table. We are. Now in a humble terrace bit lots more room and DC have a double room each.

only child grew up in a two up two down

have two kids, have an extended 4 bed

A lot less space, my parents had a large detached house with a massive garden that they paid about 100k for in 1990. I have a 2 bed semi with 2 young kids and a garden that is about the size of a large shed.

More, grew up in box room of a 3 bed semi. My kids have a bedroom each plus a spare room which is my office

Larger house now- but grew up in a large house abroad. Then spent 20yrs in a flat in London, then 2yrs in a static van in the garden renovating a derelict property- which is now larger than my childhood home.

Less. Much less. Breaks my heart.

Same number of people (2 adults, 2 children but DH away a lot of the time). Similar size house, 3 bed semi detached

More, pretty similar size house but just the two of us rather than 6.

Less. But detached not a semi. However that's because I moved far away from London!

Less, like massively less!

Far more. Though we were my no means overcrowded growing up.

Far more

Humbled

Way less space now and fewer people. My childhood home was a 7 bed Victorian old vicarage and unfortunately I grew up just expecting to have the same kind of lifestyle without understanding that I’d have to put the effort in! I now live in a scruffy 70s bungalow 😖

More, but the house I grew up in was far from small

Much bigger house, much smaller garden

More. Grew up in a council flat in east London. Parents to a semi detached house in right to buy, 6 family members. Now just me and DH now that DDs are in Uni.

About the same but a smaller garden now.

Far more. Parents grew up in slums with no flush toilet, and a shared cold tap. By the time I was born, they had a tiny semi in a working class London suburb, where the sitting room was too small to fit a three piece suite in, my bedroom was a cramped boxroom and there was no dining room.
I moved to Scotland and now have a four bed detached house with a good sized garden. I bought it for £29K in 1983, which was just under one year’s salary at the time.

More. Much Fewer people.

The same size of house but less people. So more space overall.

I grew up in a 3 bedroom house but with 2 siblings.

we have a huge 4 bedroom house but I have 5 children. We are managing absolutely fine just now as littlest ones are all very small but will likely convert loft then convert master bedroom into 2 rooms as they get older.

Far less, grew up in a four bed detached house in the countryside, live in a small two bed flat in London. Significantly more to do around here though - I wouldn’t move into DM’s house if she offered me a swap.

Same number of people less space.

Much less, grew up in a big old house in the middle of nowhere. I’ve always lived in cities since leaving home so a lot less space inside and out. I wouldn’t swap though.

More and more people.

teen years were in a tiny 2 bed sharing a room with my sister.

we now have an extended 3 bed semi so have 4 beds, 2 bathrooms, extra reception room and a large very usable modern conservatory. There are 5 of us (3 kids ranging from 12-16)
