Audrey Barton from Missouri says giving her daughter Isabella a private apartment above the garage is an investment in her future. Isabella has access to a bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom, walk-in closet, and living area, and while she can't leave through her own exit, her parents can't hear her in the space. Barton says this setup will help Isabella save money and prepare for adulthood.
A mom who allows her 12-year-old daughter to live in an apartment over her garage says it’s an investment in her future.
Barton added in the video that her son Grayson, 8, will one day have an apartment in their basement , while son Xander, almost 1, can choose between the two spaces. “Kids are just too spoiled these days, there are other ways to teach them independence and good habits.” “Two years ago, we lost our house and our pets in a fire,” Barton, who lives across the street from her parents, tells TODAY.com. “I was crying to my dad, ‘We have no place to go’ and he said, ‘Of course you have a place to go: my home.’”
Isabella does have rules, one of which is to keep her apartment tidy on a daily basis. Barton, a professional organizer, deep cleans once every two months.
