Just wondering when people start making Pesach on their own.

Pretty early on, when I only had one kid.

I've been married 30 years now, and tbh I think I find it easier then many of my friends who didn't make till they were married a while because it's part of my routine, whereas they look at it as 'extra'.

Not sure I think when my oldest was about 6-7. When they can enjoy a seder by ourselves.

First year of marriage.

Eventually, we started going away.

My oldest was in 1st grade.

I am the youngest of older parents and my husband is the oldest of a very large family and that year my parents stopped staying home and started going into their kids so I was no longer able to go to them and my in-laws have enough married that we could not be by then the whole time nor did we want to.

I live in a very small house and the whole turning over process for it was very hard because I didn't have a lot of space for things so we figured once we were staying home it would be nicer to just do it for the whole time so that it wasn't just done for half.

I think it was our 7th year married.
Happens to be I never looked back and we love staying home and we host others sometimes. Now I'm married almost 20 years

Before I was married.
Made aliyah in my early 30s. Never left Israel for pesach. Was always invited out for the seder but kashered my apartment and hosted other chag meals.
Continued making pesach the minute I got married.

11 yrs after marriage. Had 1 8 yr old child. I moved into a bigger appt, and made pesach kitchen. I went from not owning a spoon for pesach and going out for every meal including breakfast on chol hamoad.

I had lived 2 blocks from mom. My husband worked across the street from her house. She was single and needed someone to make seder and kiddush. She wasn't always home on chol hamoad, but I went over to her house to make breakfast for my husband there. My apt was tiny, my kitchen extremely tiny.

Once I made a pesach kitchen, I fully stocked up with what I needed to make pesach. My husband wanted to make full use of it, so we went from full time pesach eating out at parents to full time eating home that year, didn't even go out for a single meal. Continued on after that going out minimally, like seudah here or there, or not at all, only if a parent begged that we come for a meal, but basically was home, unless we had a sitch.

Married now for 27 yrs. Have more kids, little kids. I stay home mostly.

About 10 years into marriage. After we redid our kitchen it was easier to attempt.

We were only home a full Pesach Covid but we’ve been turning over and home for parts since around year 8. We do live near one set of parents so for a few years before that we cleaned but didn’t kasher so we could sleep at home for chol hamoed.

We always turn over bc we are always home for chol hamoed. But I would love to stay home for seder. I'm married 15 years and the only time we stayed home was covid. It was the best seder ever. Unfortunately my parents and in laws would be very hurt if we stayed home

We started when my oldest was 12. Until then we lived in a tiny apartment where it would have been majorly challenging to make pesach(playroom was in the dining room. Beyond tiny kitchen. No storage space for pesach stuff). Once we moved and had space we also realized that our kids needed a seder focused on them.

Been married 12 years and only made ourselves once the COVID year. Otherwise we split between parents and in-laws. We both come from relatively smaller families, we all live in the same city and they both really enjoy having us. So doesn't make sense to make ourselves although sometimes we wish we could.
