[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am married with an infant and my husband and I are never leaving downtown DC for exactly this reason. It gives us both peace of mind knowing that we can always walk right outside and get a latte and take a stroll or call a sitter for a night out in our neighborhood. Our condo is small and other costs are high but it’s worth it to us to have the freedom that city life brings. If we move anywhere in the next five years, it will be to Manhattan. The suburbs feel like sacrificing everything just for a little more space. [/quote]

+1.  We are in DC too and DH is a homebody while I am not.

I do things with my child free friends like dinner out, theater, etc…a few times a month.

I do things with my DS also on the weekends. Today we checked out a not so well known museum that was a gem. We go to festivals, concerts, art workshops, etc…

We also do things with DH as a family like going to a Nats game this weekend.

I’m never leaving the city and DH knew this when we were dating.  He would be fine in the burbs.  It would be torture for me.

The key also for me is just having 1 child which frees up much more time and not as big a deal for the other parent to watch.[/quote]
