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

Speaking as the daughter of infertile parents (I'm adopted) and as someone who battled infertility herself (both pregnancies, mind you), I assure you that even those of us who went through hell and back for our babes appreciate 2 hrs away from them now and then. In fact, my MIL is coming up this weekend to babysit just so my best friend and I can have dinner and drinks. I'm leaving the baby (and her big brother) w/grandma so I can have a nice meal and martini and think about no one but myself for two hours. Despite all the injections, vaginal ultrasounds, surgeries and tubes up my hoohaw at various times, and how desperately I wanted those kids. A break every so often makes me love and appreciate them that much more.
And from my perspective as someone who battled infertility AND was raised by parents who tried for 13 years to become parents, your post is BEYOND offensive. B/c until you've actually been there, you have NO IDEA AT ALL how it feels. And to insinuate you do and to use that insult someone else's parenting skills is reprehensible. Completely and utterly reprehensible. Do you know what reprehensible means, or should I provide a link to websters.com for you?
Right, because there's no difference between slumber parties and what was actually being discussed.
What does any of that have to do with adults also socializing at kids' birthday parties?
How surprising you neglected to include the alleged link to where Hazeleyes purportedly used those exact words.
What a nasty thing to say about Hazeleyes.
That's way too much trust to put in just one or two parents at a CEC-like party.
How would you know?
