true, but only to some extent. it is a lifestyle choice. if one choses to leave for suburbs then why cry about how it is not the same as the city. it isn't. yes, you can buy more house in the suburbs for the same amount but what does it matter if you do not like living there. for whom are you buying it?
on the kids: I am totally fine with people not having kids. their body, their life, their choice. what I do not agree with is judging how good of a parent one would be based on observing and/or babysitting other kids (even if the kids are you relatives). statement - I know I would not be a good parent because kids irritate me, or I watch my sister's kids, etc. is silly. it is very difficult to explain why, but this is how it is. being a parent is just different. it made me a better person.
