Mum with ‘too many kids’ has had to ‘put them in the garden’ to sleep as she’s out of space and can’t afford a new house
A MUM with “too many kids” has revealed she’s building a bedroom in the garden as she’s run out of space.
Danielle explained that as a mum-of-nine, she’s struggling to find space for all her kids to sleep.
So she’s come up with the idea of constructing a new room in the back garden, to stop the children “getting on top of each other” and winding each other up.
They’re turning to the “bank of mum and dad” to build the “luxury accommodation”.
In a bid to avoid paying a separate council tax, they aren’t putting any cooking facilities inside.
But there will be an “ample size bedroom”, a sofa, a TV area and a “nice size shower room”.
If her 20-year-old daughter wants to have a bath, she’ll “have to come up to the house”, Danielle added in the TikTok video.
And the room will be topped off with a walk in wardrobe – “every girl’s dream”.
Danielle concluded by saying she’d “give my right arm to have a bedroom suite like that”.
In the caption she called it a “garden project on a large scale”.
And people in the comments were quick to weigh in on the construction, with one writing: “Do you need permission from the council? I would love to do this.”
Danielle replied to stress that they’d done it “legit”, and had contacted the council to obtain planning permission.
“Me looking at my garden see if any room for myself to get away from all the kids,” one said.
“This is what I’m doing for my son, he’s 17 and at the moment is sharing a small room with his 15 year old brother,” another added.
“It’s expensive but will be worth it.”
“It’s a great idea trying to do this without the kitchen,” a third commented.
“A kettle will do. Not that they ever cooked!”
“Honestly, I’d feel so loved,” someone else said.
“Ohh this is going to be amazing,” another wrote.
“Just pop up a tent and be done with it,” someone else joked.
“It is sad though that our kids can’t afford to move out,” another sighed.
