[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two gorgeous homes but mine was telling me that his classmates have pools and we do not. Mine was older, so we explained that our homes fit our needs perfectly. We also told him that, as an adult,  he'll get a chance to buy the home of his dreams with a pool, so he needs to work hard to accomplish that. [/quote]

I’m the pp with a 10,000sf house. We also don’t have a pool. My kids have complained over all sorts of things over the years including not having a pool, not being close to a playground, not having a dog, having a screen time limit. I just tell them every family is different. I don’t think I give explanations or reasons.

I grew up in a humble home. I quietly liked others’ homes. I gathered all the little things I liked and now have the home I want. I wanted a giant kitchen and giant play space for my kids.

My kids may want something different, like a townhouse with a playground or a house with a pool. I think one kid wants to live somewhere to dock a boat. [/quote]
