Wait with the building application because of the child construction allowance

For us, it would be 500 euros every month. That’s something I’ll have to struggle with internally if we don’t get the subsidy. Hardly any large families buy a house with 10 rooms in their mid-20s and say, "we’ll fill them all" [emoji23]. Usually, you buy with 1-2 kids, and the large families in our circle of acquaintances then mostly move into a second house. So it’s really stupid, because you specifically buy/build bigger for the kids and then get nothing in return. On the other hand, families with 1-2 children, where both parents can easily work, usually earn more money and wouldn’t be as dependent on a subsidy as families with many children.

It annoys me. Back then, as students with two small children and jobs, we bought our first house, which has now become too small with 5 children. We always worked like crazy, and I went back to university and work with the baby in a sling eight weeks after giving birth each time. Now we have to build new due to lack of space and don’t get child construction subsidy. Instead, we have to support, through our taxes, the construction for families with good incomes who possibly have only 1-2 kids. Honestly, I’m not up for that either. So justice looks different again.

Arifas, don't you get a discount? With us, the third child is cheaper. There is also no contribution-free year here in Bavaria.

Although the facility in our town is good and the fees are quite reasonable.

You can try, but it probably won't help.

Since only the first acquisition as a family counts, the situation is clear and this passage is therefore detrimental to funding.......

"In 2011 we bought another half of a different semi-detached house. However, it is currently, and I hope will continue to be, fully rented out."
