Feeling guilty about not having enough space for kids during my weeks

Just moved into a 2 bedroom apartment after the separation. Kids are 8 and 11. They have to share a room on my weeks and honestly it's tight. Ex keeps making comments about how they're 'cramped' at my place and suggesting I need a bigger place. I'm doing my best financially right now but it stings. Anyone else dealt with this guilt? I know the size of my place doesn't determine how much I love them but it gets to me.

Kids sharing a room is totally normal. Mine do it on my weeks and honestly they seem happier having each other there. You're doing just fine, don't let the guilt get to you.

Dude, I get it. Two bedrooms with three kids feels tight too but the kids don't care about space the way we think they do. They just want to be with you. That guilt isn't helping anyone.
