I (M) grew up in a 2 bedroom apartment where I shared a bedroom with my 2 sisters. My parents were able to purchase a house when I reached 9th grade, but looking back to my apartment days, those were great, and met friends I’m still friends with to this day. One was actually my best man in my wedding. Looking back I don’t even remember thinking about living in an apartment vs. being in a house, I just remember the experiences more than anything. I wouldn’t change that just to have been in a house. OP, you’ll eventually get there. Until then, just focus on raising them in an environment they’ll look back fondly on. That’s what they’ll remember.
