With all these talk about going from homes to apartments, I wondered how many people think:
1. Going from a home to an apartment is moving "down" in life. (I am not speaking of after the kids grow up and you sell your home to OWN an apartment/condo/townhouse, but a family that owns a home and then sells it to rent an apt.)
2. What are the advantages when you own something and have equity and then go to giving someone else your money to pay THEIR bills?
3. How bad would it have to be living in your home to make the decision to do this?
4. What advantages and/or disadvantages are there to living in an apartment vs living in

This is what I asked my question on....Do you believe that those who drop off their kids are not friendly and don't enjoy hanging out at a children's party?
<<While I am sure going to the party is not the first thing they would choose to do that day, they do it for their kids. >>
What does this have to do with anything?

but again you will notice that I have never once said i find your way of doing things odd or wrong or strange. I've said repeatedly -- great. good for you. knock yourself out and have fun.
I. Don't. Enjoy. kids. Birthday. Parties.
end of discussion. It's not where I want to have super special time with their parents and it's not where I want to spend MY time. It's not. That. Big. A. deal.
Let's see-- Last sunday when Liza was with her friend for the day and I worked at the bookstore her friend an dher sister had basketball practice. the friends mom took Liza along and said she was a bit in a quandry as she usually ran tot he grocery store while the girls practiced. I told her to go right ahead. Liza would hbe happy as a clam watching her friends play (this si the school team where lots of her friends play. they'd be at the school gym with the coach and assitant coach around both who know Liza). Liza said "you bet. go shopping" the mom did. Liza stayed at practice and all was well. This is how we work things out - I'd do the same for this mom and have when she's been in a jam.

Yes. We. Did.
DUH!!!! I came rightout and said I don't feed the parents. They can have a piece of cake if they're there for it but I barely feed the kids. Call me cheap but really -- they don't need more than a slice of cake and some ice cream I've seen toom any pizzas get thrown out and too much food wasted.
You're REALLY making this out to be way more complicated than it needs to be. Like there's this big conspiracy out there to cheap out by starving grown adults who are perfectly capable of stopping at Subway and getting them selves something while the little munchkins are at the party.

As shocking as this sounds, because people do different things in different areas.
