So my husband got a job 3 hours away (from okc) and this weekend we looked at 15 potential homes to rent in the dfw... either they were too far or the home was beautiful but the neighborhood looked sketchy... I used to live in Dallas a 20 min commute can turn into an hour real quick... we wanted to be close to the job... long story short we decided on a very large 1 bed apartment with a mini yard at some brand new apartments literally right next to his job. Of course 2 beds would have been ideal but they didn’t have any available on time...my mom and sister said I was dumb for making that decisions because we have 2 dogs and the baby needs his own room! Here’s the thing I didn’t plan on putting the baby in a room alone until he’s like 6 months... and there is a dog park right next to our building... and lastly we signed a 7 month lease, so we will most likely be purchasing our first home afterwards before the baby is 4 months old.... sorry for the long vent it’s just now I’m second guessing my husband and my decision.. another perk of the apt is we will be saving over 600 bucks a month vs renting a home...
