Their Child Is Running Them Out of a Home | Reno vs Relocate

[@roselandmcguire9925]

The child didn't buy the toys! 😂 How many toys does a child need? Nice finish!

[@jeanross7430]

Clean up the toy mess would help, bad habits will continue when you move. Get the children to put their toys away for a start

[@celinasvahins7502]

Any house they move to will look exactly like the current one because they can't keep WAY TOO MANY toys picked up and put away.

[@joane.3533]

they have too many toys and that couch is waaaaay too big and same with the shelves

[@Xenon-4300]

The house isn't the problem, it's these borderline hoarders who give their kid way too many toys.

[@rastra1321]

Best comment ever!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@MollySato]

Yessss!!! 👍👍👍 All those plastic, unnecessary toys make me wanna puke!!! 🤮😷😖🫣🙈

[@judyfenske1429]

Agree with everyone who says clean up and, I add, stop buying! Child is, too young for all that "STUFF". They want more kids, with the PARENTS helping financially?

[@lauragreen4899]

This couple needs Cass from Clutter Bug and Hot Mess House to come clear out this house! No child needs that many toys.

[@amosquito3050]

I can't believe the grandparents are sleeping on the couch! They should have been offered the bedroom, especially if they travel to help with the child.

[@tiarakd]

Bigger house isn't the solution for that habit

[@OurHumbleLife]

Too bad the husband can't stand up straight in his newly renovated basement....I noticed Robin also had to duck at the bottom of the stairs.

[@robinglaze2970]

Declutter the toys, and the other stuff that he said hasn't been worn or looked at for years. The basement turned out Beautifully. Love the Murphy Bed idea.

[@neckwatch]

Having more kids and expecting parents to come live with you to help raise them is a bad idea...

[@smarterthanawaffle]

Blaming the kid for the parents' overconsumption is some American revisionist biz right there

[@vikrampuri5613]

True One child & sooo many toys Got a problem

[@styleme3375]

Isn’t this show filmed in Canada? Lol

[@clairewright8153]

Clutter is a world wide problem far to much stuff. They need a huge clean out

[@LiterarySnob]

Get rid of all those huge toys!!! Have a small container with a few toys for the baby to play with and have extras in storage to switch out and rotate the toys

[@AwanaWR]

I bet their family buys a lot of the toys. Mine did. You have to sort things by size, indoor/outdoor toys, and store some for 6 months to see if they are missed. Then donate.

[@bloodliriel]

And also, sit the family down, if they want to bring a gift, please bring this or that, and please don't bring xy, because: especially the big toys are a problem. Toys that have only one function are a problem because they will need a lot of those. A few open ended ones would solve the whole real estate problem, but nooo, they have to move and go bigger.

[@sunshinemerlot9790]

I don't care how pretty a house is, there is no way i would want to move into a house with six bathrooms especially if I had a young child. My whole life would revolve around caring for the child and cleaning the restrooms. And it would just get worse as their family grows. More work and then when the kids are old enough, more complaining about chores. It's a pass for me.

[@Josie2013]

Is she hoping besides baby sitter her mom could also be her maid?

[@eleanoreagly4844]

No child needs that many toys and the clutter does not allow child to focus. This family will have same problem with more room because they allow entry of too much stuff .

[@gracenjuguna7292]

What???! Throw toys out. That boy is over stimulated

[@svietka202]

wait, did i miss it or is there NO bathroom downstairs? and grandparents yet again have no privacy?

[@dogcomb47]

I painted my basement floor with Rustoleum Floor kit and put sponge designs in it. Looks fantastic. I have some nice area rugs to lay there.

[@kathleenroach651]

Basement ceiling is to low.

[@beckywebb1916]

I’m not sure about carpet in a basement in case of a sewer backup.

[@CynthiaLethatsme]

I cannot wrap my mind buying a house 1.2 mil.. i am struggling to pay for my little old 22, 000. Place.. it is not the childs fault.. a child can be just as happy with simple things...

[@kathleenmirabella8618]

The toys seem to be for mom and not the kid. No kid can play with that many toys.

[@olly-kai]

Children don't need that many toys. That's the real problem.

[@peachesdixon7567]

Forty grand and he can't stand up straight in the room. SMH

[@_JanetLouise]

very nice basement reno .... hopefully she can do some serious toy minimizing cuz the kid will want to be upstairs near mom, kitchen, laundry, front door, life ... caregiving parents deserve a dedicated bedroom

[@linhaton4957]

Why does that child have so many toys? So wasteful.

[@sudeshnabasuroy4347]

Wonder if the couple is still together?

[@andrear.5296]

Awwwww.... I love Reno vs Relocate. Thank you for uploading.

[@browneyedguitargirl]

This couple had 3 rooms before they renovated. The finished renovation was not three rooms; it was one large room with 3 functions. Why did’t they join two for a playroom/den, and leave one alone for a bedroom? They could have also turned the entire basement into an in-law suite by combining two rooms for a large studio, and then turned the third room into a large bathroom. Additionally, cheap materials just don’t last long, especially in a basement environment (finished or not). Their budget of 40k was not enough to accomplish what they wanted/needed. Bottom line: you get what you pay for.

[@brians9436]

But no basement bathroom?

[@maryhawaiian]

seems like they could do nothing to their house and just hire a maid to clean up everything. They obviously have the money. $40,000 would pay for a 20 hrs week maid.

[@meganseastrom5467]

They can't afford more kids BUT are using this reno as a way to guilt their parents into helping financially. That is what she said. Now I understand all the toys; neither of them are mature adults and seem to have been spoiled as kids, so they believe their parents must continue to spoil them financially. Nice reno but that family have deeper issues than clutter

[@neckwatch]

Exactly. They also believe that their parents should move in with them to help out with their future children which is a recipe for disaster. I have one child. I don't have any relatives that can help. Therefore I'm not going to have more children. What happens if they have more kids and something happens to their in laws?

[@shelleywood4117]

Although the newly renovated area looks beautiful I don’t think it will stay that way unless the parents change their clutter/hoarding habits. The child has way too many toys and the mother has too many unused clothing. There are so many people in need that could use these items. I’d never put carpeting in the playroom area because kids are notoriously sloppy. And the low ceilings would be a problem. And no bathroom? Not a good idea for the grandparents. Also the Murphy bed, when down, blocks the 2 closet doors. It does look beautiful right now though. I’d like to revisit it in 6 months.

[@sharoletyoung294]

Too many toys.

[@gbrickcommercialre]

WAY too many toys for one child! They could entertain an entire nursery school with that inventory.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Children don't NEED toys. Too many toys tells the child, "we don't think you can make a good, fun, creative inner life without US and TOYS/$." Sets up kids to have a void in their psyches. Toys are cool + fun; this many is grotesque. Uh, Mom COULD put away, w the child, one group of toys before the child goes on to another! Boy, I sure wouldn't want the TV/internet audience an intimate look into my life w family.

[@janetelmes9205]

Far too many toys! Decluttter and you wouldn’t need to do anything!

[@deestrange2192]

Good Will comes to mind

[@jeancater1388]

Way too many toys! Insane!

[@ericdusoulier7892]

He has far too many toys

[@jgmgreen01]

hoarders. that junk room in the basement can clearly be a bedroom

[@bunnylover6481]

$1.3 budget for a house - no! The pillar in front of the couch - another no.

[@bunnylover6481]

Basement for short people only.

[@itsx0aliciadaatea]

I feel like this woman could take her husband's opinion into consideration I mean Jesus. Let me sit at home while my husband works and I live in a million dollar house ungrateful af.

[@judyfenske1429]

Did anything get recycled?

[@dogcomb47]

Never say yes to carpeting.

[@bookmagicroe9553]

Small children fall all the time. Carpeting provides a soft landing.

[@beckywebb1916]

Carpet in a basement is a bad idea.

[@legoqueen2445]

If they just tidied up there'd be no problems! Renovating the basement without creating a proper room for the in-laws is mean!

[@Nottherebutthere]

Children do not need this amount of toys. It says more about parents and their neediness. Move your children's playroom to the basement, not your parents, who deserve more respect.

[@yugeenlighroff430]

Nice nice! 😀😀😀

[@jackado9848]

Oooh my God i hope this wife divorces this man.

[@tiarakd]

Bigger house isn't the solution for that habit
