I feel like such a failure. I'm in my 30s and my husband and I live in such a tiny rented apartment in London (not central). I'm always so grateful for everything as I know I am so lucky in many ways. However, I can't help but feel like a loser. I'm embarrassed to host because everyone around me has nice spacious homes. It's like I'm craving having a big house even though my husband and I are trying to succeed in business etc so we can have a level of financial freedom so it may be in the future we can have a bigger place.
I just want my baby to have decent space. Everything is so expensive. You spend all your money to live in a glorified sardine tin but at least I have a tin lol.

Do not feel bad! Me and dad don’t even live together and I’m still at home with my mom and older sister. Move at your pace I wish I had a tiny rented apartment for us to just have our own space ! Everyone moves at different spaces and i believe you’re doing an amazing job and everything will fall into place eventually keep your head up mama !

This makes me really upset and I have never met you. I think your baby and partner are so lucky ro have such a humble, mother and partner who clearly wants to succeed. But, I feel already you are - as your rich in thought! Keep doing you, you will get there and try not to get caught up in the societal pressure X
