[quote=Anonymous]We live in NYC and even stuck it out here throughout the pandemic. I'm now pregnant with our third child and we're thinking about moving to the suburbs. What once sounded so boring to me now sounds wonderful - a house with a backyard, a car, grocery shopping in a big suburban store, quiet, lots of parks and green space and of course good schools and kids activities.

The thing I keep hearing is that once the kids grow up to be teenagers, they get bored in the suburbs and maybe stay a bit more out of trouble in the city where they can be more independent. Personally, I wasn't ever *that* bored where I grew up - I was too busy with school and sports and we thought it was fun to go to Panera on a Friday night and just chill and talk (I was a bit of a nerd lol). But I'm sure others felt differently. Anyway - what are your thoughts on that? We're thinking of moving to Westchester or Fairfield county (no more that 45 minutes from the city) so in my daydreams, I see my kids biking to the train if they're bored and going for a day in the city. I actually have a few friends who live in CT/NJ/Westchester and in they're in the city more than I thought.

By the way, commute is not an issue. My husband and I will be working from home indefinitely. [/quote]
