Where to raise our baby

Question

My boyfriend and I are almost into our second trimester. We're currently debating/arguing over where to raise our baby. His parents house, my moms house, or a new apartment. Each one has its pros and cons.

I'd like to know what you think in general. There's a million details that I can explain in the comments.

Answer

I don't know your situation of course but I would think you would want your own apartment that is close to one or both of your families for support.

Answer

why not your own place if that's an option? you're starting your own family and having your own space seems ideal.

Answer

Our situation is evolving like yours...the baby and i will be at my parents for a couple months so i can get help from my mother. But he is at his family's home and baby n i will be over there too just not fulltime.  We will be moving into our own place with baby shortly. I really think you two should go where youll have the most support~

Answer

Ideal would be your own place near whichever parent is most helpful and reliable who could help you.  I think living with family members can cause friction between the family and stress on a couple,  so should be avoided if you can possibly afford being on your own.

Answer

Your own place

Answer

I t really all depends your relationship with both of your parents.. For example, my situation..
His parents- I don't like them. We live here in their house but since I moved in last July they KNOW we wanted to live here A LITTLE WHILE to save up to go on our own but they have not tried helping us what so ever ... They're so money hungry. They're always asking my bf for money for THEIR stuff. There's also other little problems that we have but won't go into detail.. Also my SIL lives here too with her husband and kid ... 😑 I know I won't get any help from his mom when the baby comes and they'll just point out everything I'm doing wrong.
My parents- I freaking adore them. They've helped us out so much even though we're not living with them.. They told us if we went to live with them they'd give us ONE bill to pay and groceries and that's it because my dad said he'd want us to save up to go out on our own which I love but my bfs a little mommas boy and won't leave his house. When baby comes I know I will have ALOT of help. Plus my aunt lives down the street and said if I wanted to work or go to school she'd baby sit .. 
Which is why I'm going to stay with my mom for 3-4 weeks after the baby comes lol. I wish we lived there but it's a little hard because my bf drives a company truck for his work and is the only one with a license.. 
I don't want to get our own place until I start working because I'll feel weird if he's the only one bringing in money, paying for everything. 
I know this is based off of MY current situation lol but I hope it helped.

Answer

Yes you would want to have your own place not too far from your parents and his for support. But I can tell you at times your going to be so depleted and tired your not gunna want anyone around except for your bf and baby. So really consider your options...

Answer

how close are you to your parents? my ideal situation would be having our own place but parents near by so they can visit and help a lot. 
we do have our own place but our parents are all a plane ride away. so it's going to be tough finding room for them when they visit to help us, unless they stay in an air bnb or something.
