[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We stayed. I don't like driving. My husband was not interested in maintaining a lawn. I would have liked more space, but I prefer this lifestyle. Now that my kids are in middle school and high school, they travel to school, to sports and to meet up with friends on their own.[/quote]

And I bet they are growing up pretty damn fast, when it comes to sex and drugs. [/quote]

I have two NYC teens.  No sex yet, my dd's recent ex had offered her some weed and she admitted she didn't like it.  I'll have wine at dinner with them on the weekends.  But they are SHS kids - nerdy.  They do get panhandled for crack money by homeless, oops, I meant, "unhoused" people on the subway.  I suspect those experienced alone keep them on the straight and narrow.

DH and I grew up in the DC area.  The sex and drugs at the boy's private in Bethesda where he went was fairly routine.  I didn't have any exposure to those but plenty of my high school cohorts did.  So I would say teen sex and drugs seems more flagrant in the burbs. [/quote]
