Do their kids care if they live in the rented house versus the owned? I doubt it. Probably care more about showing their dad tricks on their skateboard.
Ok, but what you guys are failing to take into consideration is that renting is not a stable situation. You never know what could happen, or when, that could cause the owner to make you move. When that happens, your kids may have to leave their friends and even school. Not a good situation for the kids that aren’t ready to move.
