    Usually when parents downsize, they don’t prioritize a private space for their kids. It makes me happy to see that she gave her son his own space, and not just a cubby.

    Mom is so loving giving her son the bedroom on the ground floor. I feel the same way and think it was a good move giving an area of space to call his own and to allow for that sleepover with friends when the time comes. I’m so happy for them but so upset with the circumstances in our country and the economy that has pushed hard working citizens out of the housing market and has made them seek other alternatives in order to live. This mother said something similar to what my aunt told me a number of years back and has stuck with me since “ the way you’ve done things here isn’t wrong sweetie it’s just a different way “ . This after being told how wrong I was I so appreciated that and hearing this lady say something similar made me smile. Best of luck to her and her son, they seem very delightful.

    Cody, that's called a trundle bed. I grew up on one. Except it had a steel frame, and if flipped a lever, thst came up to full bed height.

Дом продуман до мелочей и эти многофункциональные "штучки" в виде табуретка, который превращается в столик и кофейного столика, который вдруг становится полноценным рабочим местом - всё это полезные изюминки дома. Мне очень понравился выпуск. Счастья этой милой семье.

      @@TheGenericavatar I've taught kids from 5 years old up through 14 years old. A lot of kids I've taught, including the Kindergartners, have a more sophisticated way of talking than adults might expect. That often comes from the kids being around adults who talk to the kids like they're adults, not dumbing down their speech like the kids are still little babies. My Kindergartners would get in political arguments (it was an election year) that sometimes would actually sound pretty well-informed! They were obviously just parroting back what they heard their parents say, but still, they were speaking in a way that a lot of people might not expect a 5-year-old to speak.

    I wanted a tiny home but my husband wouldn’t go for it. We built a 1700 square foot home. Very small to some but I’ve lived in much smaller.
    Cool kid you have. I’m a boy mom myself. 💙💙

    $1K a month rent?! That’s high - but I guess for Cali it’s comparable and at least she will eventually own her home

      I agree. It's just for the privilege of parking the home. Comparing it to renting an entire apartment isn't really accurate.
