[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single mom and I just sold the SFH for a TH.  It doesn't have a yard but it has a huge deck.  I guess I could knock the deck down and have a yard.  But I bought and end unit that backs to woods.  On the side of my house is common green space that leads to woods and a creek.

My kids are 6 and 9.  What they miss most is their swingset and trampoline.  That being said, over the last year my kids really weren't home much to use the play equipment.  After school there were activities and then homework, dinner and bed.  No need to jump on the backyard trampoline if you've been at Parkour for an hour.

For the summer the oldest is at sleepaway camp so she's not here to enjoy the play equipment and the youngest is in sports camp all day.  By he time he gets home I can barely get him bathed and fed before he crashes.

I'm loving the no maintenance.  I have a tiny sliver of dirt that can accommodate 5 small plants.  That's the extent of my gardening and I love it.

I had the SFH for 15 years--and now I realize all that I was missing.[/quote]
