[quote=Anonymous]It seems like your situation is working for you, and you both work out of the home, but this would never work in my family (but I love living in the burbs and don't miss city life at all).  I love that I can send the kids into the yard (even at age 3 and 4) and just sit inside at the breakfast table.  Now my 9 year old can easily go outside and play without me worrying.  They have so much stuff!  Soccer, lacrosse, dance, basketball- the mudroom is one of the most important areas of the house!  With virtual school it's important they each have their own space where they don't hear each other.  Pre -covid they needed homework space, and older kids like to have their own space and privacy sometimes.

I think if things are working for you now, then don't worry about it.  But as pp said, older kids just take up more space.  They still have toys, but also all their activity stuff and school stuff, they eat a lot, and it's nice to have a yard to just send them outside where you don't have to go out.  [/quote]
