[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I'm sure you are a nice person, I don't think my "sad" comment was meant for you at all.  I know a family who live in a two bedroom with kids your same ages, and it IS sad.  They are either cooped up inside or squatting at a playground for half the day.  No sense of home, nowhere to get some real downtime, or the freedom to build a fort or dig a hole in the ground.  Trying out new playgrounds isn't sad, but needing them because you live in a chicken coop and your kids never get outdoor time otherwise, is.  I misinterpreted.  I also strongly feel that older kids need space and time with kids their own ages to learn how to build friendships.  That's why having play dates at home, and neighborhood friends, are so crucial. If you Are an itinerant playground hopper (see family above) then, while you gain skills in making 'single-serving' friends quickly, you don't really get the depth of real friendship.  this site is a funny place, a lot of misdirected emotions happen here.

Well I guess all my friends who grew up in Manhattan lived sad, sad lives.[/quote]
