Childhood home

Hi Everyone,

My parents recently offered me and my husband the opportunity to buy (at a discount) my childhood home. The home is basically perfect (schools, location etc) except I am worried that I will never truly see it as my own. There are a few reasons i am considering this, but the main one is the housing prices these days. There is no way that my husband and I could afford a house in a town with a fantastic school system. I loved growing up in the town and if we have kids I clearly want the best for them. But I almost feel stuck but deep down I know this is the right thing for my husband and I's future.

I guess my question is, have you or someone you know ever raised their family or owned their childhood home? If so how did you or they mentally deal with it, and did it work out?

Any advice you have is really appreciated. Thank you! H
