[quote=Anonymous][b]We did fine without any of these things. We had a baby in an old house with no storage, no garage, no laundry room (stackable in the bathroom), no family room, old creaking floors, and lots of stairs. We were creative and it worked. BUT if I could have had one thing it would have been an open kitchen overlooking a family room. It was always a problem trying to make meals while the baby/toddler was playing and I didn't want her crawling around boiling pots and hot stoves. I put up gates but she mostly cried at them[/b]

We did fine in the same situation too, when we had to. It can be done, but now that we've moved to a larger home it is SO MUCH easier.

A great workable kids bathroom. Our previous br was 5x4 feet had a door that opened against the tub so you had to come all the  way in with all the baby stuff, then close the door all the way to access the bath so both of us could enjoy playing with the baby. And forget visiting grandparents enjoying bathtime with us. There was no room to get in, so the grandparents would peek around the door like "baby. bath. Great. Got it...Adorable" then leave to give us room.

Our kids bathroom is now a lot larger without the door issue, full access to the length of the  bath at all times and double sinks spread across the length with lots of storage and everynight I want to give my husband a bj for buying this house. It has made everything so much more pleasant.[/quote]
