[quote=Anonymous]Op, are you sure your community is waiting for your return? I would guess a lot has changed in 8 years, busy parents don’t generally hang out like DINKs, and many have likely moved to suburbs!

Also, living in the city in modern era is for the rich and poor — the rich throw money around to have a big enough house, cabs and ample delivery, and private schools.  The poor have few options and accept the improved services and public transit as acceptable lifestyle but with limited options for their children

You likely aren’t rich since you are glomming onto this grandparents apartment, and need to sell your existing home. You have better options than the poor, so for your children’s benefit I would stay put or look at a better fitting suburb (ours has non chain coffee shops and what not you seem to crave)

I would look at therapy if you are this distraught with the compromises you have made for your kids by living in the burbs. I think you are more lamenting the loss if freedom and options as you age and become parents. We all mourn our youth. [/quote]
