- 2,000 square feet of ceramic tile?

FAIL.

- 300 square feet of plush (formerly) white carpet?

FAIL.

FAIL.

- Matte white walls?

FAIL.

- House on a hill?

FAIL.

- Computer in the kitchen?

...And of course, what got me thinking about all this awesomeness in the first place:

I failed too, on the house-for-kids front. We were ok with one kid, then we messed our house karma up by having two more, lol. Too many mistakes to list . . .

Funny.

How about "Master bedroom shares a wall with was a guest and is now kid's bedroom." FAIL.

A small kitchen I thought we'd learn to live with..........15 years later, it's still small

Thinking this would be our first house and we'd move, well, 15 years later and 3 kids and me stopping work to care for an ill parent and said 3 children, and voila, we are still here.

Those oak trees!!! No one said how big they were going to grow!

New washing machine and dryer that can cater larger loads... FAIL. Keeping my laundry basket empty and kitchen uncluttered? FAIL.

Deep sigh.

Soaker tub, with sides too high for me to comfortably bend over and wash my baby?

FAIL.

(But it seemed like such a good idea when I chose it in my pre-child days.)
