[quote=Anonymous]I hate how one can't seem to support one without disparaging the other.

We lived in DC when we were newly married, then moved to the suburbs when DS was a toddler and we outgrew our space.

Living in the city was a ton of fun.  No doubt about that.  Walking to the grocery store, to Rock Creek Park, to the zoo.  All awesome.  Living centrally also made it easy and fun to host get-togethers.

Living in the suburbs is fun too, with kids.  I don't get to walk everywhere now, but we can do other outdoors stuff.  We grow our own vegetables and blueberries in the backyard.  We can walk to the neighborhood swimming pool.  The kids like to dig holes and look for worms.  Music classes, tumbling classes, swimming classes -- those are all just a short drive away.

There's no one right answer.  You have to decide what's better for you.  For us, we didn't work in DC, so moving to the suburbs actually improved our commutes, which was a big plus.  I do miss living in DC, but I'm happy raising my kids in our suburb.  I like having lots of space in my house.  When the kids are going a little crazy,  I can take them into the basement and it's a whole other play space.  I have space to store wagons, tricycles, bicycles.

Good luck, I think you can be happy in any place, as long as you have the right attitude.[/quote]
