The low income apartment place told us that we were welcome to move-in. The rent was super cheap. Only one problem. . . . .
No new babies!
Turns out they have the "only 2 people per bedroom rule" as well. They told us that without any four bedroom units available we'd have to move out the second baby number five turned six months old.
So we said "NO WAY"
Because I just refuse to stop decorating my house with these cute faces!*
*(Hey, I'm 36. Both God and my body might decide that I'm done having kids. Believe me, after 4 c-sections, part of me will be okay with Baby Tess staying my youngest. STILL, I'm not going to hand over my intimate childbearing decisions to some nameless corporate legal office!)

Um, that's such a ridiculous rule. We live in the country, with seven people in a three-bedroom house. Hubby & I get one, son gets one, and the FOUR girls share one. D.
My husband and I are moving out of state and we noticed that all the apartments we looked at had the same rule. 2 people to a room. Which strikes me as odd, but I guess it was a city or state law. It doesn't affect us right now since we will be getting a two bedroom and we have our first baby on the way (we'll probably be moved halfway across the country again by the time we have baby #2, much less baby #3).
But I did find it to be limiting for families. I wouldn't think twice about having three children in a two bedroom apartment if that's all we could afford! Seems like this is another way our culture is preventing people from having children.
I LOVE how you decorate your house...God is an awesome interior designer aye?
