I can only advise everyone to build before having children. I am 31 and have 2 daughters 3 years and 8 months old. We are moving in next month. It was already a challenge to plan everything with the little kids. My wife was occasionally close to burnout. But everything is always individual. We built a turnkey house and my wife is on parental leave. Still, it was very demanding. A buddy is now starting to build next to me. He’s doing 80% alone despite a full-time job and a 1-year-old daughter, I’m curious.
We built like this: me self-employed with well over 60 working hours a week, did almost all the electrical work in the house alone (complex KNX, DALI, 1WIRE), toddler (naughty!) on my neck, wife heavily pregnant and gave birth 10 weeks before moving in. All in all: extremely exhausting and I would NOT do it that way again. It probably cost me one or two years of my life. Nevertheless, we managed it.
