Parents Buy Daughters “Container Homes” So They Can Live In The Backyard

Moving out of your parent’s house is a big deal for every young person. Unfortunately, the economic climate coming out of former President Donald Trump’s time in office has forced millions of young people to stay at home with their parents, where they don’t have to pay rent or buy groceries or cover the cost of laundry. While some parents make the wise decision to charge their adult children rent and other fees for staying at their home past the age of eighteen, millions of other parents are simply out of luck and forced to endure the presence of their adult children for years after they wanted them to leave.

In a bid to make their teen daughters more independent and less reliant on their parents, Matt and Linda came up with a solution that would move their teen daughters out of the home but still keep them close so they could lean on their parents in times of need. The parents decided to shell out thousands of dollars to purchase tiny homes made of shipping containers that they installed in their backyard so their teenage daughters would always be close to home but not in the home.

The smart parents purchased the pair of tiny homes from Alternative Living Spaces. Each container home is perfect for the couple’s teen daughters at just about three hundred forty square feet in size. The homes cost the parents just about sixty thousand dollars each. And in order to get the spaces furnished for their beloved daughters, Matt and Linda shelled out an additional ten thousand each on furniture and other fixings for a total of about one hundred forty thousand dollars to outfit their teen daughters with homes away from home but in the backyard.


“The girls can live in there, but we both have aging sets of parents that are getting older, and we thought, well, if we had these storage containers, we have this multi-generational setup that we could put them out there,” said Matt.

Now Matt and Linda are able to keep a close eye on their beautiful teen daughters, Maddie and Ashley, while still granting them a semblance of independence since they live in their own apartments in the backyard. This is a win-win for the family because the kids are out of the house but are still close enough to rely on their parents in a moment of need.

In addition, Matt and Linda know that their daughters won’t be staying in the shipping container houses forever. That’s why they are planning to redesign the shipping container houses for their aging parents when their teen daughters move out. This makes it an even better investment for the couple since they would be able to have two sets of people live in the same house in a short period of years.

The pair of shipping container stores use the same sewer, power, and water supply as the main house. This means that the children won’t have to worry about hooking up their homes to the electricity grid or getting their sewer bills in the mail. The parents still cover that portion of the responsibility, although they might charge their teen daughters a bit to cover the additional cost.
