[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are both from the suburbs. We lived in the city for many years, both apart before we met and together. We bought house in the suburbs in our late twenties and we have two small children (preschool age and an infant) and we are generally happy. However, it can be isolating being in our home (it’s not walkable to anything) and I don’t love having to get in and out of the car to go anywhere. Both of us commute five days a week, which can take anywhere from 50 minutes to two hours each way. Neither of our jobs can be done remotely. I’m starting to feel like we might be happier giving up the suburban dream and moving back to the city. Has anyone else made this move? It feels like going backwards but the work week is such a struggle, and we don’t get to the see the kids for more than an hour or two each day. I’m not sure the yard and the house are worth it when we’re both gone so much. Appreciate any thoughts. [/quote]
