[quote=Anonymous]I’m one of three kids and grew up in a 6 bedroom house. My husband (one of 4 kids) grew up in a 3 bedroom house and always shared with his brother.

We live in a very expensive town in the Bay Area, and we’re in an expensive neighborhood within that town. Three bedroom houses start around $2 million and aren’t much less in neighboring towns. We’re in a 2 bedroom apartment for now and my 3 and 8 year old share both a room and a bed. The three year old was out of her crib (in our room) a year ago and we started looking for beds but then with the pandemic we put off furniture shopping and now the girls like sharing. But the room sharing is hard - the 8 year olds shuts the 3 year old out both for school and on weekends. I’ve looked at houses but it’s a stretch and I’m not certain I want to stay here. I’ve also considered 3 bedroom apartments but we can’t stay in our specific neighborhood and our bubble / 8 year old’s best friend is a few doors away. We will move some day, but the whole “you can’t afford it if they can’t each have a room” thing is problematic in many ways but among them is what do you do if you can easily afford it in Tulsa but not in Manhattan? I’m very grateful I have two and my 8 year old expresses gratitude for her little sister all the time.  [/quote]
