The size of the home you have is what you're comfortable with.  No matter what anyone else says. 

[Admin]

As mentioned in the other thread, your new home wouldn't count as a McMansion, which is generally a large, audacious, "sore thumb" of a monstrosity, built using prefab materials unsuited for its size or location. I don't have a problem with people living in a large house, as long as it isn't out of place and affecting the neighbor's property values (or getting foreclosed on).

...a library.....a sewing room.....

I'm so getting a library when I retire....not so much with the sewing room, unless I can call it the 'cant sew' room... it could be filled with half sewn on buttons and a lifetimes worth of clothes I could never quite repair properly. Oh and socks....

[Nerk]

Yes a sewing room! Doesn't every man need a sewing room? A room to have the "maid" fitted to her new "maid" uniform, all under the watchful eye of the "man of the house"? 

[GrannyLorr]

I dont sew on buttons or do repairs either....thats boring stuff. I just do "granny" stuff, like quilting, embroidery, candlewicking etc etc......oh yeah and knitting and crochet.......John says I have more wool than the Australian Wool Board!! I just need a ~special room~ to store all my "stuff" as its taking over our current house.
I have a "library" in our current house too......it once was my sons bedroom....the day he left home I went out and bought the shelves to turn it into a library....he could never move back home again!! 

[Nerk]

Evil! Just plain evil! And he just a mere lad of 38 or 39 tender years!

[GrannyLorr]

If dear son had stayed here that bloody long Nerk, I wouldnt be still here!! (he left home at 17)

[Nerk]

You're lucky Lorr! Daughter returned at the ripe old age of 27 and decided she needs a place to crash for awhile! Just until she can decide which abusive deadbeat she might go back to ... for another few months! One of these days..... 

*At least it's a bit cheaper to support her and child here than to support her and child and deadbeat at his place! It would be nice if he could get a job or something like that... don't know if he has that capability. First, he doen't understand what that means, and secondly, he has other things to do! No time for work! He plays the turntables and is going to be a star! Why me! Why me!*

[GrannyLorr]

Thats a pain Nerk, sorry its happening in your family. Daughters must be prone to that sort of behaviour, mine came back around 25 too, and was also with a dead beat.....luckily no child involved.....also luckily she soon woke up to herself and dumped him......then met and married the current one....we dont particulary like him either, but he isnt abusive and has never been a day without work in his life......so thats a good thing.....we just dont like him......BUT we have the best daughter in law in the World....she even wants to look after us when we get old!! (older???)  our son doesnt though!  As they say....you win some....you lose some.....

Nerk, if you want, you can send your daughter to my place, would be even cheaper for you.

[Nerk]

But Jawa... She wouldn't be happy... She wants a man who's lazy, dosen't have a job, doesn't know what work is, hides when the bills come, returns after "I" pay them and fill the fridge with food, sends her home for gas money, booze money, dope money, new sneakers money, cell phone money... She was looking at a job posting in Oakville... Another plane ticket to buy and expenses for a week for me to pay for... I hope she gets it...

[Admin]

Can I call you "dad?" 

[GrannyLorr]

My two wouldnt even ask....cos they would know what the answer would be.

[Admin]

I thought joeys stayed in their mother's pouch until they graduated from college or something?

[jawa]

Nerk, how about weekends? I can be that guy on weekends.
