[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PPI'm pretty sure over a certain size house, most owners have a cleaning service.  Cleaning is not likely one of their first concerns.  Having a big house means having "rich people" problems, if you will.   Most people I know who own a big house do not realize they own a big house.  It is either nicely appointed or partly empty - they know better than to spend all at once - how do you think they GOT the big house?  They are smart with money and do not spend all at once.

As far as actually living in one, I agree with one of the first PP's, there are large houses that feel warm and small houses that feel cold, and vice versa.    It depends who lives there!  You can tell a home that is one extreme of the other, either too perfect or too messy.  Like most things, moderation is best and most comfortable.

OP, why are you asking?  Certainly you can be happy for those whom you perceive who have more than you, as a grown adult.  Right?

Op here- i ask out of genuine curiosity. The equivalent of asking what its like to shop at SteinMart. It exists, but I have yet to go there. I was actually watching the latest episode of the Housewives show when the thought popped into my mind. Is the space lonely? [/quote]

I guess it would depend on how many people live in the house.

We are a large family, and while our house is large and on a lot of land, it feels cozy and warm and people love coming here.  We have both a gas and a wood burning fireplace, and both are heat-producing, so we stay toasty in the winter without much effort.  The boys all share one room and the girls all share another, and we constantly have guests.

The greatest difficulty is keeping it clean.  The kids all have jobs, but still, it's never all really clean at the same time.  Sometimes I get wistful for the tiny, ugly military housing we left behind in the past...but then I look out the window at the pine trees, and I feel so grateful.

That being said, I do wonder about families with one or two children in huge houses, when no one is home a good deal of the time.[/quote]
