Not a parent, I am surprised the children were not involved in the house selection process. You would think it would more fun for the kids to offer feedback on selecting the new house.
Hey, I gotta disagree with you there. Kids aren't stupid. They might not get all the adult stuff, but they're pretty sharp in their own way. Plus, they can surprise you with their insights!
Imagine explaining budgets and school districts to a kid. It's like a mini economics lesson! They might not get it all, but it's a great way to teach them about real-life decisions.
House hunting can be a family adventure! It's a chance for parents to bond with their kids, hear their wild ideas, and maybe even find a house everyone loves.
Brains don’t develop until you are 25. Kids are stupid
And you started out by saying you don’t have kids so it is purely speculation when you talk about adventures and bonding.
Even if you are that you had fun house hunting once as a kid, I would again argue that is because kids are stupid and buying a house is stressful
Buying a house is often listed as one of the top ten most stressful things in life. Have you ever bought a house
Maybe not. Finding a perfect house that everyone enjoys isn’t a guarantee of purchase
So what if you find a great house that the kids love and someone overbids you? Now whatever house you get is a disappointment because you didn’t get the house that your kids had their hopes on
Might be a fun experience and it might be a disappointment if you get kids involved
