[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are doing okay with it. It would be better for yds if we were in a neighborhood with his friends but in his friend group, he is not the only one who isn't in one of those kid filled neighborhoods.  Parents have been nice about inviting my ds and within 2 yrs the kids will be biking all over our town anyway so he will be fine. We chose magnet schools and we live on a street with mostly retirees.  There are a few kids on our street but since our kids are at a magnet school, my kids don't go to school with them and so don't know them.

It has been fine. There tend to be young families moving in to the older neighborhoods. I was speaking to a woman in her 70s the other day who said that her street was all young families when they moved in many decades ago, and now there has been gradual turnover and the only older people are her/her husband, and two different neighbors. It is all young families now on her street!  [/quote]

I posted this and I thought of more things.  Now, because of how technology works, my teen doesn't live in the same neighborhood with his friends, but they are often on discourse chatting or playing together on minecraft. My yds doesn't live near his buddy but they facetime while they play video games together. It is like they are at the same house, but they are actually a couple of miles apart.
