[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They feel sort of bewildered and sad about why their home is so much smaller. [/quote]

This is pathetic.[/quote]

No, they are kids.   We live in a 3200 sqft sfh (with basement).  But growing up, I lived in a tiny tiny house, and there were six of us in total.  I was embarrassed as a teenager to have people over my house.  I didn't buy a big house because of how I felt growing up, though.  I bought this size house because it suited us and we could afford it, actually we could afford more, but I didn't want to.

OP - my kids have seen some of the big houses along River rd, and commented how they'd love to live there. I told them then they need to make sure they get a great education, and a really high paying job if they want to live in a house like that.  I tell them how I grew up, how there are kids who live in a much smaller place than their's, even some that have no homes at all.  So, be grateful for what you have, which by my childhood standards is a heck of a whole lot.[/quote]
