What can I do with our House?

Question

I bought our house a little more than 4 years ago. There is a park close by, a nice back yard. My older child, who is not mean a child - he is really respectful and polite, sometimes tells me that he does not like our house. I ask him why and he has no specific answer to this question.

Now, I am coming to dislike it as well. I wish I could sell it and buy another one but I can't right now.

I guess I will have to deal with what I have for now.

We 3 have our separate bedrooms. It's a decent size, I started to put up pictures of us on the walls, I made a garden last year, I have painted their bedrooms with nice colors and had them print their hands with a different color of paint on the walls...

My question is:
With a really small budget, any tips on how can I make it better for the 3 of us? (not just for the kids... for the mom too!)

Thanks!

Answer 1

I would ask your child what it would take to spruce it up and make him happy with it and go from there. Let him be an active part of the solution and he will take ownership and pride too... like you.

Good Luck!
