Squashed cramped homes-how do people manage sharing cramped conditions?

Interetsing thread
When I asked a Japanese friend how she got on sharing rooms with paper walls with her family she told me "privacy is a state of mind"
I am bemused by people thinking its a problem having kids without own rooms; my daughter and I had to share a room to get onto the property ladder. I went to bed when she was asleep and got up before she woke, so she never felt she shared a room with me, but I bet she didn't like schoolfriends knowing she shared a room with mum
But just picture Charlie Buckets' family, they all got on fine!You never know how far-reaching something good, that you may do or say today, may affect the lives of others tomorrow0 -
I'ts perfectly good for the tens of thousands who live there, and the only realistic first freehold house for many locals. I wouldn't have my nice house in the country if I had held my nose at the prospect of living in Medway for a few years.breadlinebetty wrote: »Chatham is horrible!

Anywhere's OK if it's all you can afford. But no-one really wants to live in Chatham - it's just a stepping stone0
