TikToker and mother Jumers (@jumers19) put her crafty skills to the test when she built a tiny home in her backyard for her teenage son.
“When grown kids don’t want to move out, build them a tiny house,” she began in the clip.
The following images revealed her family in the process of building the tiny home on their property.
After installing the wood base and putting windows in, they vaulted the ceilings and added carpet to the floor.
The final product looked like a spacious studio apartment: It had an L-shaped desk, a large bed, and a TV on the wall.
As for why she did it, Jumers explained that in this day and age, it isn’t realistic to buy a home when you turn 18.
“It’s not easy getting out on your own once you’re legal age,” she wrote in a comment.
“Pay? Rent? Insurance? Car? I mean, it’s a lot to take in at once.”

Revealing that her son just graduated high school and got a job, she said it’s unrealistic to expect him to pay for a house on his own.
“I moved out at 17 and I struggled then,” she said, adding that she’d rather her son save money.
Hoping to elevate the space even further, she said her next to-do was to add plumbing and install a bathroom.
Many viewers applauded her dedication to her son.
“Family takes care of family. Family is all we have in this life. Everyone should be doing this as the moving away and starting life somewhere else is outdated,” one wrote.
“I feel parents can still do this and teach them responsibility,” another noted.
