[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]some weird vibe here like "Hipster city parents and their adventurous, well-behaved children vs old lame fat suburbanites and their sad unadventurous children".

personally for toddlers and 3 year olds, this kind of trip is not worth the stress. For 4-5 year olds, I could see a carefully planned outing with a lot of parent volunteers as worthwhile. As pp mentioned, the PITA factor alone of dealing with a class of recently potty trained kids with no available bathroom would make it a non started for me. [/quote]

Did the implication about lame suburbanites hit close to home for you?

As a lame suburbanite you won't get this but taking public transit is not stressful or extraordinary or hard or dangerous.  And if you used Metro you'd also know every single station has a bathroom.

I think we need a parallel thread about the horrors (and dangers) of having to drive from an Urban area to the suburbs for a lame birthday party at Bounce You.  Dodging SUV's (and the mom's with their noses in their phones) in those parking lots is easily more stressful than any trip on public transit I've ever taken with one of my kids.[/quote]
