Do you still remember the time when you moved out of your parent’s home?

Independence is something that we all want to have. When you’re young, you want to explore, make your own decision, and learn how to manage your finances.Some leave for college, and some would decide to move out of their parent’s house.When Matt and Linda realized their children were already teens, they decided it was time to move out and look for a more spacious home.

They found one with a big backyard, and they thought they could use the space in a few years.
Indeed, after a few years, their two teenage daughters were old enough to move out, but they still wanted them close. So, the couple looked for container homes.

They found two gorgeous containers from Alternative Living Spaces and bought two 340 square feet container home. Each one costs $60,000. If you want them fully furnished, they will cost about $70,000 per unit.

“The girls can live in there but we both have aging sets of parents that are getting older and we thought, well, if we had these storage containers, we have this multi-generational setup that we could put them out there,” said Matt.

Matt and Linda would be able to monitor their kids, Maddie and Ashley, but still, give them the independence and privacy that they wanted.When they move out, the couple would be able to re-design the space for their aging parents.What a great investment!

The couple pulled the sewer, power, and water from the house and shared it with the two container homes. By doing this, the kids won’t have to worry about installing their independent systems.One of the girls, Ashley, lived in her container home for a while but soon decided to leave for college.Braedon, Maddie’s friend, decided to rent the space.

It was the perfect home for Braedon because he was looking for a space to live in for a short time. Instead of an apartment, the setup in Maddie’s home was better.Maddie’s container home has a spacious living room area with air conditioning, television, and a big sofa that can turn into a bed. Braedon’s living room looks identical to Maddie’s but with a dog bed and an X-Box.

The kitchen at Maddie’s container isn’t being used because she still eats and cooks inside her parent’s home. The container for the microwave had since become a display area for her caps. The kitchen on Braedon’s container is complete with a microwave and storage for a few plates.Maddie’s container unit has more clothes and shoes, and she was able to maximize her storage areas. Braedon’s container has all his necessities, but he still has more space.

When our kids start asking for independence and privacy, we become worried.Matt and Linda’s idea was loved by many because they get to have the best of both worlds. They can teach their kids about independence and privacy, yet they can monitor them and assist them if they need it.

MY DAUGHTER SWITCHED SEATS MID-FLIGHT—AND I FOUND OUT WHY TOO LATE It was supposed to be a quiet flight. Just me and my daughter, Reyna, heading to Phoenix to see my sister. I’d packed snacks, downloaded a few cartoons on the iPad, and even brought her unicorn plushie that she won’t sleep without. We boarded early, settled into our seats—me by the window, Reyna in the middle. I had just started zoning out, watching the tarmac, when I realized she was no longer beside me. I turned my head and there she was, squished in next to a man across the aisle, looking up at him like she knew him. “Reyna,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “Come back over here, baby.” She turned to me with the most serious face I’ve ever seen on a four-year-old and said, “No, I wanna sit with Grandpa.” I laughed awkwardly. “Sweetie, that’s not Grandpa.” The man looked just as confused as I was. “I’m sorry,” he said, glancing between us. “I’ve never met her before.” But Reyna didn’t budge. She grabbed the man’s arm with both hands and leaned in like she was guarding him. “She knows me,” she insisted. “You’re Grandpa Mike.” My stomach dropped. Not because I recognized the guy—he was a stranger to me—but because of the name. Mike. That’s my dad’s name. The dad who left when I was seven. The one Reyna’s never met. The one I never talk about. I tried to laugh it off again, but something about the way Reyna kept staring at him made my chest tighten. The man looked just as shaken as I felt. Then he said something I didn’t expect.⬇️ Continue reading in the first comment 👇
