[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Glad to know that I am not alone. Our house is tiny in parts and I notice that few of our neighbors' kids come back after college. I think that part of this is due to the tight spaces with bigger people. [/quote] If you smother them emotionally they won't want to be around you. It has nothing to do with the house. DH has cousins who are much older than him, and raised their 3 kids in a small 3br 1ba house in Manassas. Their kids were always around because it was a happy and welcoming place, and when we moved to the area as young newlyweds we spent a lot of time there too because they were such great people and they "adopted" us. Their kids have moved away for jobs, etc. but they're still a close family. This is what you should try to achieve, instead of going into debt for more space that may not be used. [/quote]
