Kids can share a room but that still means an extra room, which has a cost. Plus kids come with stuff like clothing, toys, school supplies, etc.

- helge9210 2y agoI never had my own room. Up until age of 14 I slept on bunk bed sharing a room with my brother and my parents, so it doesn't always mean a separate room.
- michaelmrose 2y agoIf you don't own a home you have to rent and they simply won't and can't legally rent you too small an apartment or one with insufficient bedrooms. In practice having 2 or 3 kids is going to mean going from studio/1 br to 2/3 br and double or triple housing costs.
- dvdkon 2y agoThat seems draconian. Is that a US federal/US state/other country law?
- helge9210 2y agoSame in Germany. There are minimum requirements on the living area for children.
- michaelmrose 2y agoState by state but the same most places. Even if the law would let you are you going to raise a family in your 350 sq studio?
- dvdkon 2y agoEurostat [0] would have you believe that you want 3 rooms for a family of 2 adults and 1 child. That's fine as an aspirational goal, but I feel that parents with a toddler living in a signle-room flat is good enough, especially for the baby.
