[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone idealizes NYC. It is fabulous but Let’s be honest, your 3 and 5 year old don’t give two craps about visiting museums. Chances are you will do that one every 3 month and you can just drive in from the suburbs. Also, unless you have a driver and are really wealthy, normal living is a slog (everything takes longer and is effort!) Get a big house with a big yard, have your kids sign up for sports and form a community in the burbs. No brainer! [/quote]

New York has amazing playgrounds. Good playgrounds are a lot more fun than backyards.

You need a lot of luck to be able to bring up a kid in NYC or it’s inner suburbs without much money, but, if you are lucky, then growing up in or around the city is a lot of fun. Every stoop is a new world.

I think NYC kid raising is cheaper than the burbs. There's so much to do and if you let go of the fancy class preschools and classes there's so much to do that's cheap. Also, no car expense. And you and your kid will be in much better physical shape.

We got lured to the burbs ten years ago and I still regret it. In NYC we had friends from every socioeconomic class and culture. The burbs are segregated and cold
