I think people would buy big homes hoping to have big families, and sometimes they did and sometimes they didn’t, but either way, once the kids left the nest, or if there was a loss of the breadwinner, you could set up shop as a boarding house. So it was kind of like insurance, in a way.
This is a good time to take India seriously, where almost everybody is poor, but they are happy, and there is very little crime.
Thank you, I feel validated. :)
Our home too.
Lol! Still on iPad and I agree with you. This touch screen thing is hell for me.plus I don’t know how to do caps or or anything else.
Dell tech was here today. She installed the new hard drrive. For free since laptop is is abt 6 mos old. And she confirmed that it was a bad hard drive and I didn’t do anything wrong. I was happy abt that! Made sure I mentioned that to my husband. Numerous times.
I am hoping by the wknd that my husband has my laptop all set up. I need a hard keyboard and not this touch screen one. Guess this makes my decision abt my new cell phone easier. I can get a free iPhone but it’s all touch screen and I suck at that.
It’s interesting discussing this topic. Bear with me on my touch screen issues lol.
I lived at home...lived away at college...but moved right back home once I graduated college. Lived at home until I got married. It was just the way it was done in my family and in my area. My husband moved out when he was 18 to attend college and never moved back. He was made to be completely financially independent when he was 16 or so so that was normal for him. He knew he could never go back. When we met and dated in college and my family became his...he knew he could always have a home there.
It’s funny. He thought me living at home after living away T college then living home during grad school until we got married was odd. No one he knew lived at home whereas everyone I knew lived at home until they got married. Mostly not every single person.
But with our girls he would like all of them to live at home forever. Lol.
The topic is just something that was considered normal in my family. You move out if you get a job in another state but you basically live at home until u get married and even then the door is always open.
My parents loved my husband. They loved that I got out of our neighborhood...the city in general.
I hope my kids get jobs once they graduate college but I also hop they live close enough for us to be a huge part of their lives Ana’s the door is always open for them. This is their home. No matter what.
