[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 34 and have one kid. No more kids for me (can't imagine paying for 2 daycare slots in DC).  My little three person family has no need and no desire for a huge house. We make do with our 1 car and 1600 sq ft "shitshack" in a close-in, historic neighborhood with good public schools. DH and I bought this house in 2011, at the tail end of the recession, for less than $300K; now we have about $250K in equity. I think our situation is a lot better than people 5-10 years younger than us.

A lot of my friends have 1 or 2 kids and probably won't have more. I can't think of any that would ever buy a McMansion. We like being able to walk places. But maybe I'll eat my words in 10 years. [/quote]

It sounds rather sad to me, but to each her own.  You do know you don't speak for anyone other yourself and your little circle of friends.[/quote]

I live in a large home in a suburb, but what exactly was sad about pp's description?  It sounds rather nice.  To each his own. It doesn't make my own home (which I enjoy very much, despite having to ***gasp*** DRIVE places) less nice.

Why can't you guys just respect other's people's choices.  Sheesh.[/quote]
