A bit OT but if your house is so big that you can't even hear the laundry buzzer it seems like the size of the house itself is a stressor.

Huh? I could admit it's a bit of a "good problem to have" but why would it be a stressor?

That's the ethos of the entire tiny home movement. Large houses consume a lot of time and mental energy just to maintain them and to walk from one side to the other. I noticed it a lot moving from a 3 story 2,500 sq ft home in Seattle to a similarly sized apartment in Berlin that's all on one floor. My kids do miss sliding down the stairs though.
