Housing situation

[Franky91]

Is anyone else in the situation where they are living at home with there parents and there is simply no room for a baby, am on the council housing list and im getting no where! My boyfriend reminded me today I have 17 weeks left and baby will be here, we got the cot and everything today and there is no room in my room :( my room is tiny and if I dont have a house soon my boyfriend will be moving in with me so we will need a double bed, am worried am not going to have a house in time :( anyone else?

When this baby is born there will be six of us in our 2bedroom-me , hubby n kids. I am in band 3 for housing which means another 4-5year waiting for a three bed. I am already on council! Its all a joke. We really are holding out on going into private because then we would haveto claim housing benefit- there's no way we could afford around £1400 a month plus everything else on his wage. Our housing system is shite! Good luck :-)

My hubby and I live in my parents basement. Both boys have their own room upstairs but my 2 yr old will be sharing his when baby comes. Its gonna be rough. Section 8 housing is closed to new applicants due to having too many as it is so we cant even apply for that.

My boyfriend left me when I was 3 months pregnant so I was forced to move back home with my mom in her 2 bedroom house. Baby and I will have to share a room. You just have to make the best of your situation. It'll be tough. "It will all be okay in the end, and if its not okay, it's not the end" that really got me through a lot. Keep your head up.

All my friends are in couples so I dont think tht would be ideal 4 adults and a baby livin together, we r still young my bf is 19 & am 21 so I dont c any friends wanting to be around a baby when they booze and love to party :/

The good thing is,  you won't need a full size baby bed for months.  You can actually just empty out a deep dresser drawer,  put a firm foam pad in the bottom of it and place it in the corner of the room and that makes a  cradle your baby will be fine in for the first couple months.  Takes up almost no room.

Me and my husband couldn't afford a place alone so we got a place and had a friend move in as a roommate have you thought of something like that
