I never want my son to leave home so I built him a shed in the garden to live in – he’d better not sneak girls in though | The Sun

THIS teen took being a mummy's boy to a whole new level when his mum revealed that she didn't want him to leave home so badly that she built him a posh shed in the garden to live in.

She posted the renovation on TikTok and other parents were pretty impressed.


Luckily, the doting mum was able to keep costs low for the massive project, thanks to her husband's skills.

She said: "Off the top of my head I think it's cost around £7k so far, but my husband has his own roofing and building company so he's done everything himself."

They started with what was a derelict patch of grass at the back of the garden and filled it with concreate so the real work could begin.

The space started to come together after the wooden walls and posh doors and windows were added, at which point it looked less like a basic garden shed and more like a fancy studio flat.

They even added a small bathroom and kitchen area so that their son could be fully independent but still at arms reach – and able to steal some snacks from his parent's kitchen if he ever runs out.

He's got a full-sized shower cubicle and plenty of bathroom storage, and even a decorative plant.

Despite the space being small the clever design makes the most of it, there's space for a double bed, large wardrobe, and a huge flat screen TV on the wall.

The kitchen area is quite compact, but how much cooking do you really expect a teen boy to do when he's so close to the family kitchen?

Other parents were amazed by the effort they couple put into building the home away from home and the video has gained over 1.1 million views.

One said: "I got one built for my son but he kept sneaking different girls in so I had CCTV put in the garden to catch him out!"

The mum replied, confessing: "[that's] the one thing I'm dreading."

One person said: "Love this! I would so do it to keep my kids home!"

And a second wrote: "Hopefully this will help him gain independence, but also help him save or get on the property ladder himself."

Although the mum didn't reveal whether she plans on charging her son any rent to stay in his new abode, since he's only 16-years-old he can probably get away without paying anything for a bit longer.
