[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a great house in a great school cluster with a great commute.  It is in a very nice neighborhood.  It is under 2000 square feet.  We have an only child and are not having more.  I hear all of this talk about size and wonder what I am missing.  We have a den and a guest bedroom in addition to our bedrooms.  We have 2 bathrooms.  [b]Why would we need more space?[/b]  Is this only if we had more kids?  Serious question.

Clearly, [b][u]you[/u][/b] don't.  But others might. [b] And it really is not your concern why[/b].[/quote]

Aren't you a sweetie? 
FYI, the entire point of a discussion board is to discuss issues, including why others 'might' need more space. [/quote]

Okay, we moved out of our 1844 sf house, not because we need more rooms, but we wanted bigger rooms.  And we prefer not to have multi-tasking rooms.  We like having a separate playroom where toys don't have to be put away all the time.  We like having a a kitchen that includes a breakfast nook since it's much easier to feed the LO without taking food back and forth to the dining room.  We like having a separate office and guest room.  Most importantly, we like having larger rooms.  Yes the house with the small rooms was functional, but considering how much of our lives we spend in the house, we'd like to be comfortable and having only 20-25 sf of actual floor space not covered by furniture in the bedroom wasn't very comfortable.  We would go in to sleep and change clothes.  Now I enjoy actually being able to use the room for something other than just sleep and dressing.  So, we didn't need it but we are much more comfortable in the larger house, we enjoy the house more and enjoy spending time in the house more.  We also have more storage so that we can keep more seasonal items instead of always spending time purging items.  Yes, some people feel so virtuous about cleaning and throwing things out, but I for one don't really feel like buying new things every year because I don't have the space to store things that I only use occasionally.  I like having space for bicycles only used in warm weather, and sleds only used in cold weather and the cooking appliances that I only use a couple of times a year. [/quote]
