[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice is to stop being so judgmental. Your kids will pick up that attitude and you’re going to start to wonder fast why they have no friends.

Second, here are a few tips. 1) “travel” sports only means that coaches are getting paid, instead of parent volunteers for “rec” sports. People getting paid for their expert knowledge and labor is a good thing. 2) people live in the suburbs for many reasons and an obvious one is the need for more space. Usually people need more space because they have more than one kid.[/quote]

They often have 2 kids and live as it they have half a dozen.[/quote]
Do you vacation using your vehicle or by plane? Most people I know who have big vehicles use them a lot for vacations, eg Outer Banks, Deep Creek/Wisp, etc. Most people I know with smaller vehicles fly everywhere for holidays. Which do you think is better and worse for climate change?

The OP is doing nothing more than class posturing. She thinks suburban lifestyles are gauche and that she’s superior, even as she has endeavored to live a suburban lifestyle herself. [/quote]

DP but we have a sedan and we rarely fly. It turns out you can drive to the Outer Banks in a sedan or station wagon. You can get a ski rack or bike rack for the top of a sedan or wagon too. We've driven to Outer Banks, Florida, Maine, Chicago... in a sedan. Did you know this is what people used to do all the time and it was fine? People with one or two kids just always drove sedans and it was not some horrible burden. Its was normal. They drove them all the way across the country.

You can try and justify it all you want by arguing that without your SUV, you'd be forced to fly to OBX (no one flies to OBX), but you just like driving a big vehicle.[/quote]
