Just having a conversation that there was always a kid at school Whos living room you weren’t allowed in. Ever. Nobody used it. It was for if the queen called or the second coming or something.
Did you know someone like that? Were you that kid? More importantly does anyone do this as an adult??
How bizarre! |

I know a family where the kids were never allowed to have toys in their living room. They had to play in their bedrooms away from everyone. Just so the living room was kept pristine.  |

"‘The good room’ wonder if they lay on their death bed thinking ‘good god, I’m glad those cushions I bought In 1984 still aren’t creased’
 "
God they'd be no fun. Imagine finding yourself free whilst the kids are out, the urge takes over, and woman's response is "not here, the lounge aesthetic is more important." |

"I grew up in the back room
I think it's traditional in some areas / families
I kinda like keeping a room for best "
My mum was very house proud and had a similar view. The lounge is for entertaining friends and family. She was not that strict though.
Just a case of not food or drink allowed in their by kids, without adults being around, shoes off, dirty clothes off.
Then we got wood flooring and attitudes changed a bit. |

That's us but to be fair it's only because when we changed the flooring to Bamboo wood we didn't realise it scratched so easy! Kids don't seem bothered playing in their rooms. |

I had a great aunt that had one. Once when we visited my sister and I (10 and 6) asked if we could go into the room and she said yes as long as we didn’t touch anything. So we just stood in the centre of the room. When she came in she said we could sit down. Haha |

My Nan had a front room like that. Only allowed in at Christmas when all 27 people really couldn't fit in the back on one sofa and a chair

I had a friend who had a conservatory and they all chilled in their. The living room door was always closed, lights off, heating off etc.
I had another who didn’t want their garage so converted it into a second living room. So one never got used  |

Haha. Yes, my friend had a sitting room they would never use, only if they had guests.
They lived in the back room otherwise.. but when you parents were out we’d have boxing matches in their ‘best room’. |

Our next door neighbours when we were kids lived in the kitchen. The furniture in the living room was covered in plastic and they went in there once a year to look at the Christmas tree.
The mum used to shut the kids out in the garden with a packet of biscuits each. |
