[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because life in the suburbs makes me want to spoon my eyes out.[/quote] again selfish parents not thinking of their kids[/quote] I agreed with this sentiment, but I am definitely thinking of my kid. I grew up in the suburbs, and I was bored. My brother was so bored he turned to drugs, as did many of our friends. Do I think that living in the city will, in and of itself, prevent that? No, and I don't need to see any studies to show that my way is the wrong way; instead, I am just going to try something else (i.e., living in an area that is walkable to a ton of cultural activities for kids and teens alike) and try to steer my child differently. That makes me live with my concern better. We all have to do the best that we can for our kids, and I think that this is the best that I can do for mine, at least for the time being. So I will.
