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

You would be wrong about that, IME. I am friends with some of my children's parents, but those friendship's are

You can't be serious? You left 30 kids running around?

It seems many parents don't enjoy to do "kids" things with their children and being around other kids. It is only for a couple of hours. Maybe they should talk to the men and women who try so hard to have children and would LOVE to go to with their own child to a party.


Oh please.....

amazingly enough they're all still standing. LIza doesn't need me "playing games" with her or "helping her select prizes" she's a big girl. She can throw her own skee balls.
