We built our house only a year and a half ago, still has work to be done on it so I will have things to keep my busy. W just wants to sell but never looked into the financial disaster it would put us in as we would come out so far behind.
I will keep doing things to make it a home for my kids. It's funny, one of her conplaints was there wasn't enough progress to keep her happy, that even one light fixture would have been enough at times, kids told me her apartment has no light fixtures either. Feels such a waste that we will be spending money doing up 2 places instead of the house we designed together.
