Family of 5 living in a one bed flat as the children can sleep in the lounge

A mother and father have revealed how they manage to fit their family of five into a one-bed flat.

However, trolls have targeted them, saying their living conditions are ‘irresponsible’ because the children sleep in the lounge.

But Meg, who goes by the name of ‘meg.n.em’ on TikTok, explained that they are just making the space work for them.

Meg and her partner showed their home and gave a tour of their home.

Speaking to their followers, she said: “So someone asked how we can save space and where the baby stuff is, so we’ll show you.

“We’ve eliminated as many baby contraptions as we have, but we’re stuck with the high chair.”

They showed the high chair was upside down and resting on their microwave.

They also buy a storage unit that can go above the toilet so that it does not take up too much extra space.

You can hear the dad say, “I love this because we have as few drawers and stuff as possible.

“We don’t have many drawers here.”

The pair then headed to their own bedroom, which has enough space on either side for a double bed and a chest of drawers.

Then they went to the living room, which is located next to the kitchen, and has bunk beds for the kids, as well as couches on the other side of the room.

They even have a chair that can be used for multiple things, such as a side table, fort or someone to relax on.

They even managed to fit a Christmas tree and placed decorations high on shelves to make use of the space.

The family also suggested buying mirrors for those looking to downsize their home because “they open up the space.”

Although the family has done their best to make use of the space in their one-bed home, they have been targeted by trolls who believe the children should not sleep in the living room.

Let the kids have the bedroom

TikTok response

One wrote: “I think the kids should have a bedroom and parents should buy a sofa that converts into a bed.

“This way they would have more space and the children would have space for themselves.”

Another said: “It’s just an idea. It is quite dangerous to leave bunk beds for children near the kitchen, and perhaps build a mezzanine in the bedroom so that the children can also sleep in the room, but above you.”

A third added: “Let the kids have the bedroom so you can use the kitchen and front room while they sleep.

“You could put your bed in the corner where their bed is now and then put a curtain around it or install a stud wall.”
