Let me begin by sharing a valuable lesson with all parents who have a daughter, especially if she’s an only child – resist the urge to spoil her! I know this first-hand because my husband and I made that mistake. We wanted our daughter to have everything she desired, and so we gave her everything. She had free rein in the house, knowing that she could have anything she wanted. I must admit that I played a part in this, but my husband was the main culprit. He would lavish her with gifts and indulge her every whim.
It’s true that our daughter was fortunate to grow up in a family that could provide her with everything she wanted. Being an only child made it easier for us to provide for her since we didn’t have to divide our resources among multiple children.
Recently, our daughter has been contemplating purchasing her first home. After years of renting and bouncing back and forth between living with us and living independently, she has decided that it’s time to build her dream home. And by dream home, I mean a luxurious one. She has been meeting with the best custom home designers the Mornington Peninsula has ever seen, and the designs are breathtaking. While we’re more than willing to help her financially, we never expected to contribute to a luxury property.
Nonetheless, I’m excited to see the final result of her vision come to life with the help of the top-rated new home builders on the Mornington Peninsula. My daughter is ecstatic about how the designs have turned out, and I can see why. I’m already looking forward to spending time in her new home, and I’m sure she’ll welcome us as regular guests.
As parents, my husband and I couldn’t be prouder of our daughter’s accomplishments. We’ve watched her grow from a little girl with big dreams to a successful and independent woman who’s ready to take on the world.
