I had to find a pencil and do a long division problem! It’s something around 210, because there are 11 of us, and the house is a bit less than 2,400 sq.ft. When Anoreth is home, we’re under 200, and tripping over each other a lot. Of course, Kathleen (at 6 months) doesn’t need much space, while Tom (6’2”, 240 lbs.) ought to have his own Quonset hut.
It’s the eight bathrooms that make me sigh with longing. That’s not typical in older houses; I wonder if the place was a boarding house or something like that, at some point.
And congratulations on the shrinkage of your house!
The eight bathrooms—hmmm. Yes. How many girls do you have? We now have a bath and a half, but together they are under 40 square feet.
When our eldest was about three and her mother was attempting to get her out of the bathroom, she said something to the effect of “You can have privacy or you can have love—you can’t have both. Which do you choose?”
