    If you have to ask why your kids must be still in your room at 12 yrs old?
    Sanity

    What if you lived in a country where its the norm for whole families live in one room?

    If your sanity is that easily affected, I hope you never encounter real problems.

    It's very easy for other people to raise your kids.

    We are renting a tiny house an old woman used live in since May. Our 1.5yo was in our room with us. So we were going moving her to her own room. So oh went making the bed- dampness had come up through floor through the legs of the cot bed and into mattress. Fracking lucky we are slow at getting her out into her own room. Oh won't let her into the room now at all. I dunno do I either. Is 2.5 very old for a child to leave parents room? She has her own bed in there. There is no other room in the house and house is the only one available until we build. I would be divorced if we moved into mothers house. Things could start going our way anytime soon.
    When most of us were young there was damp etc in most houses. Think kids today are extremely mollycoddled on the cleanliness/dampness/ heating front

    I'll have to figure that one out. The house is drylined. I reckon it might be a rad leaking.
    There is nowhere around to rent. If there was, we would be in it.

    Get the fluck out of that house. Dampness will draw asthma and the cost of the extra rent isnt worth that at any rate whatever about the sleeping situation.

    Listening to some parents at football the other night going on about bringing their kids here there and everywhere during the holidays and how ungrateful the kids were. Apart from football most nights and a trip to France we went no where. The more places you bring them the more places they want to go.

    Is it kids or us in society?
    Houses are now air tight, when once people had on a coat when huddled around an open fire due to the draft coming under the door.

    Youd want to take the advice and stop being a busy body telling they have to have their kid out of the room. Are you going to mind their child in the middle of the night. You are in your hole

    Our first lad was in with us until he was around two I'd say and the younger lad was in his own room very quick ( I can't remember but about 3 months ) he just didn't like any sounds from us and pure darkness , he is still the same way .
    Every child and parent is different

    How bad is the damp ? Do you leave a window open regularly . As whelan said years ago alot of houses were damp and we got on OK ( I think )
    Our house wasn't damp growing up but I have a sister and brother with asthma anyhow

    Your right. They needed a game alright. I'd say that there's a kick in them yet.
    Training was closed this week so they must be up something.

    Her brother came along :D No seriously she had health problems, convulsions with high temperatures and constant ear infections. Had a double bed along with our king size bed in the room-its a big room

    I reckon dampness if from a dripping rad pipe but could be from outside also. The rad is dry to touch. House is old. Dampness doesn't seem to be on walls but they are dry lined. There doesn't seem to be a path around that side of house. Dampness in that room isn't old but room is dry lined so hard to see.

    There is literally noting around for 15-20 miles. Only other option is a damper house or home. With the way my mother is after dad dying we would loose our mind or our daughter would become a goth.

    What's wrong with goths!!! :eek:


    (says the wain who was a goth herself)

    (In my day....) In winter you studied in a hat and coat huddled beside an electric oil rad. Then off to bed with a hot water bottle weighed down by enough blankets that'd seal a silage pit.

    Wake up in the morn with a big blue nose. Hop out and get dressed in 10sec flat. Then go to the window to pull curtains to find the net curtains frozen solid to the window. Good times!! :D
