But it would mean we could be living in a smaller (easier to clean/maintain!!) house for the (nearly) four of us. Especially when they are younger, and don't need their own space for study etc, I don't see why they can't share a room to sleep in. I think the bigger house syndrome is a generation thing... My parents, sister and I all lived quite happily in a three bedroom, one living, one bathroom house for nearly 22 years! And so did most of our family and friends. But my sister and I didn't ever have to share a room, and I can just imagine the fights we would have had if we did!

Although, even though ironing the cover makes it look nicer, I still can't bring myself to do it! @Lucie, Thanks for the link- I'll have to take a look. @Luna, I moved back in with my mom after having lived on my own for a number of years. It can be a great way to save money- assuming you get along with your parents! @Miss Thrifty,

@Lucie,

@Luna,
I moved back in with my mom after having lived on my own for a number of years. It can be a great way to save money- assuming you get along with your parents!

Then was we got older, just my sister & I shared a room. We lived in the same house for 15 years. After that, we ended up moving to a little bigger place where we were all able to have our own room. Now even in our late-teens/early twenties, we all still live at home with our parents. It's not because we haven't grown up. It's just with the economy as bad as it is & the cost of living increasing so much, we thought it was best if we all live together like they did in the olden days. It helps all of us save a little money.
