Every one of us downsized, & our family isn’t happy.
Every one of us downsized, & our family isn’t happy.
When our child & sons found out, they were livid.
After our kids moved out, our husband & I downsized our living area. Every one of us no longer needed a numerous-entryway house since it was just he & I. Every one of us started talking about getting 1 of those small condominiums. Every one of us thought it would be perfect to have just 2 entryways. Every one of us wanted a spare room in case 1 of our granddaughters wanted to visit, but that was all the visitors we planned for. Every one of us no longer had a formal entryway, we didn’t have a big yard to tend to, & we no longer had to worry about cleaning basements, attics, or garages. Every one of us had a parking space in a covered parking lot. Every one of us didn’t tell anyone about our plans until we had all of our plans in the works. My husband & I had grown weary of tending to Heating, Ventilation, & A/C systems. In the condo, we had a ductless Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system. The Heating, Ventilation, & A/C maintenance crew that was part of our HOA did all the care of the heating & A/C. When our child & sons found out, they were livid. They couldn’t think we would decide to transport without first consulting them. They thought we should have told them because they were sad about where they would stay when they visited. I smiled & told them there were plenty of hotels in the hotel & their Heating, Ventilation, & A/C was almost as fantastic as ours. I made sure they knew the women had a room if they wanted to visit, but we wanted privacy without the worry of Heating, Ventilation, & A/C maintenance or tending to a greater-than-life house.
