[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You live in Chicago? That’s a completely crazy rent to be paying, even with those amenities.[/quote]
Agree it sounds insane,  but we don’t know their HHI. Also agree with those who think it’s ridiculous to assume kids would not be ok sharing a 10x12 room for many years. [/quote]

OP here. How would it work for two kids to share some room when you have a baby constantly waking up, sleep regressions, sleep training, etc.? [/quote]

Well, the way it worked for me, with my two kids who now share a 8 x 11 room (the horror!) is that the baby slept with us for a while, and then we had him in his mini crib in our second bathroom while he sorted out his sleep, and now he shares with his sister. I get to enjoy their sweet conversations together and they snuggle in the morning together and play in their room on the weekends while DH and I sleep in. The sleep training transition period was maybe a couple of months, but that is was years ago and I haven't looked back.

I get that room sharing and small apartment living isn't for everyone, but you sound really high maintenance, OP.

Fwiw my apartment is in the middle of NYC, is <1000sf...and we bought it for $1.5M, least anyone get apologetic over my poor person's lifestyle. We made this decision and are happy with it, despite many trade-offs (what I wouldn't give for an extra few feet of a 10 x 12 bedroom for them!). But I know that many, many families around the world get by comfortably in even smaller spaces.[/quote]
