[quote=Anonymous]I live with my husband, two sons (1.5 and 3.5) and a large dog. We own a 2000sqft 4bed/2.5 bath but are currently living elsewhere in a rented 900sqft 2bed/2bath. In my opinion, extra space only matters to a point. It helps to have the ability to store things out of sight but, with young kids, there is often going to be a mess regardless of how you organize things. I clean throughout the day, use storage bins to hold toys and, and vacuum the living room daily. The kids keep the majority of their toys in their bedroom and, when I’m cleaning out the living room I just throw all the toys in there and worry about it later. It takes a lot of work to keep a home looking presentable with kids, in my opinion. I say sacrifice some rooms to the mess (their bedrooms or a playroom) and try to keep a very limited amount of toys/kid stuff in shared spaces. [/quote]
