My parents had 3 kids. I was the oldest. My parents bought a house when I was 9. They sold when I was 12. We rented again until I was 16. I think it more important to have a stable household, attentive, caring and loving parents. It didn’t matter to me that we were renting. That was not a factor at all. When you’re a kid, there are so many other things that are important. A house may be important to a parent, but kids care if you are part of their lives and support them, teach them to ride a bike, come to their football game, music class, etc.

March 18, 2008 at 7:57 AM #172217vagabondoParticipantI am the 3rd of 4 and was born in a 2 bedroom duplex off Nimitz in Point Loma. When I was 5 we moved to an 1100 Sq Ft mansion where I lived until I left for college.
I was in Africa last month. Families of 6-8 people live in 200-300 sq ft shacks and seem to function exceptionally well (aside from AIDS and Malaria).
Point is, and to pile onto the family thing, size doesn’t matter. I have never heard a kid say they felt responsible for the fact that they live in a small house. I do hear them say they felt responsible for a divorce. The only thing that matters to a kid is a loving, nourishing family.

March 18, 2008 at 8:19 AM #172257jpinpbParticipantThis got me thinking back. The second place my parents rented was a two-family home. The landlords become very close friends w/my parents. The lady babysat us regularly. She had no kids and she love us kids. My parents stayed in touch ever since, no matter where we moved. My mom was very close to the lady and she recently went to the husband’s funeral. My brother went too. They’re all back east. I probably would’ve gone if I were there. Maybe those were different times. I don’t know. Don’t want to date myself (my psychologist told me to date other people) I think our landlords/friends enriched our lives and I have fond memories of them. Dear people.
