[quote=Anonymous]couldn't bear to read all 15 pages but I could have written OPs post. Only we own the house--DH bought before having kids, we live in upper NW but east of the park. quiet, pretty, relatively spacious houses, but far from metro, a 45min to 1 hr commute to work via public transportation, and shitty schools. I really want to move closer in--smaller, but more convenient to metro, but we would likely have to rent and houses are selling slowly in our hood. Add to it DH's oldest chid splits time betwen his mom and dad, and school all the way across town, so really, even if we did move, our logistics are not simple, esp with one car. I wish we lived close to family and that our families were able to help; alas they are far and elderly. we often feel consumed by logistics and finances. I crave simplicity a lot though--the only reason I'd like more money (we are around 160k) is to be able to live closer to metro and not have to put off things like fixing lead paint and our leaky roof.
