[quote=Anonymous]Parenting was a lot more stressful when we lived in the big city. A lot of the pressure fell away when we moved to a smaller city. The cost of living is a lot lower, the pace is more relaxed, the commute is 10 minutes, the schools are less of a pressure cooker (that means happier kids/less stressed-out parents). We can even afford to do something fun on the weekends now. Going to the pumpkin farm in the DMV might cost $80 for four people just for admission. Where I live now, it's $7/person. That's just one example. Everything is more attainable here. A lot of our parenting stress looking back was connected to living in a high-cost urban area. There are negative parenting issues unique to big cities. Mid-size cities have their issues too, but the lower cost of living creates a better quality of life.[/quote]
