Every one of us downsized, and our family isn’t glad.
Every one of us downsized, and our family isn’t glad.
After our youngsters moved out, my partner and I downsized our living area. Every one of us no longer needed a multiple-family room cabin since it was just she and I. Every one of us started talking about getting a single of those small condominiums. Every one of us thought it would be perfect to have just numerous family rooms. Every one of us wanted a spare room in case a single of our granddaughters wanted to visit, however that was all the visitors the two of us planned for. Every one of us no longer had a formal kitchen, the two of us didn’t have a big yard to tend to, and the two of us 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 the two of us had all of our plans in the works. My partner and I had grown tired of tending to Heating and A/C systems. In the condo, the two of us had a ductless Heating and A/C system. The Heating and A/C maintenance crew that was part of our HOA did all the care of the heating as well as air conditioning. When our daughter and sons found out, they were livid. They couldn’t assume the two of us would decide to move separate from first consulting them. They thought the two of us should have told them because they were distraught about where they would stay when they visited. I smiled and told them there were plenty of hotels in the hotel and their Heating and A/C was almost as fantastic as ours. I made sure they knew the ladies had a room if they wanted to visit, however the two of us wanted privacy separate from the worry of Heating and A/C maintenance or tending to a larger-than-life house.
