[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a small house 1,300 when kids little. Three kids and lived there 18 years. I now have a big house. I need the big house more now.

My three kids will be visiting with spouses and grandkids. They need a place to stay over.

Kids today are not taking over holidays. My neighbor has a 7,000 sf and five grown kids 20-33. None are married. Only one lives at home. Every holiday there are 7-9 cars in driveway as they all come [/quote]

How many holidays are there in a year? There's two, possibly three times out of the year when you'd be hosting holiday gatherings. I find it amusing people want to rattle around great big barns for the sake of a few holidays a year. [/quote]

Xmas
Thanksgiving
Easter
New years
8 birthdays
4th of July
Baby showers
Bridal showers
Christenings
1st communion
Confirmation
Graduations
Sunday dinner every other week
Super Bowl party
Get together just because

Only five out of the long list of events are holidays. I guess your kids don't share the holidays with their inlaws? Most of the events on your list also don't require multiple days/staying overnight.

It's great you must have a family that likes to celebrate but most people manage to celebrate in smaller houses. Do what you want, but it's not a requirement to have 7k sqft to have parties.[/quote]
