Anyone else raising kids in an apartment ?

Question

Soo this may sound crazy but I’m due in 13 weeks and I just feel like my husband and I are sooo behind. I’m 25 he’s 30 and we’re still in an apartment. A one bedroom…we want a house but obviously not ready financially just yet. Is it difficult raising your child in an apartment? I’m a FTM. Just thought having a house is more ideal before bringing life into the world but it happens 🙃

Answer

Raising a child in an apartment is just fine. Where I come from, Switzerland, most people live in apartments really not a problem at all. Sometimes it's even better than a house, less cleaning for one, which can be convenient when your baby is small and no stairs, which is also more convenient.

Answer

i had two children, my boyfriend and me in a one bedroom apartment. 
we turned the dining space into our oldest’s “room” with her crib and everything, baby gated the kitchen off from them, and got extra rugs for on top of the carpet since we’re upstairs neighbors.
our youngest just stayed in our room with us because she’s so little and sleeps in a bassinet. 
it definitely has you wanting to pull your hair out sometimes but it’s definitely manageable. 
we’re thankfully in a house now, but boy was it hectic for a little while.

Answer

It’s okay!!  Start saving and give yourself a few years.  As long as it’s a nice apartment complex, that’s fine.  It’s not like you have a bunch of kids and are living in a tiny place.  You’re not behind at all.  It’s hard, but you’re doing great.  No worries!

Answer

I sleep in the living room with baby right now because we're in an apartment. You want to be very mindful of the available space 'Cause we got a lot of things that are big and can barely store 'em. I'd say a baby swing and a crib or floor bed then focus on toys more than other big soothes and play objects. Then depending on closet space you'll want to be very mindful of how many things you get, we have two large boxes and a full dresser of baby clothes and we still need clothes because babies grow really fast.

Answer

I raised my twins in a 2 bedroom apartment for their first 7 years of life. Nothing wrong with that. We JUST bought a house (I’m 30-he’s 32). Times are tough! Don’t be hard on yourself.

Answer

We loved in apartments until our kids were 12, 11 and 10. They adapted fine.

Answer

Me! We have a 6 yo and I’m 31 weeks now. We have a lovely apartment with plenty of space.

Answer

I feel that! I’m 27 and my husband is 33 and we live in a one bedroom with an almost 9 month old , anther on the way, a dog , and a cat . It’s a little crammed but it works for now! I do wish we could have a house soon and a yard for the dog would be lovely . We are working towards it. Don’t feel bad! Raising kids in an apartment is just fine and many do it .

Answer

I don’t live in an apartment but I do live in a small 730sqft house with two kids and two dogs, sometimes it’s crazy but I love it!! And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with raising a baby in an apartment. They tend to be more safe too so that’s an added bonus 😊

Answer

I was a single mom for quite a while raising my daughter in a townhouse/apartment. My husband and I are 31 and 30 and just started to build our forever home (my daughter is 9 and we have a 21 month old together). My daughter had a great life in our little apartment and we are actually a little somber about leaving because of all the memories. I wouldn’t worry! Apartment living is just fine for a kiddo!
