SAHM w/4 y/o DD, UWS. It's like raising DCs anywhere. There are good days and bad days, great things about living here and PITA things about living here. I love being able to take DD to a playground and letting her find DCs to play with - some she already knows and some she does not; having AMNH as a rainy-day activity is also wonderful. Pre-school admissions weren't so bad, at least not for us, but I'm not looking forward to K next year. I wish I had more storage space, but otherwise I love my apartment (and being forced to edit/limit possessions and purchases isn't all bad). It is what you make of it. [ Reply | More

SAHM (working freelance 2x/wk) with 2yr old DS. it is soooo easy and lots of fun. so easy to get around. love not having to use a car or carseat everyday. love delivery of groceries and essentially everything/anything. ditto on museum. potential for overstimulation, i try to balance that out with trips outside city even to mundane places like surburban mall or target. on waitlist to all preschools - that sucks.

I just posted above in another thread...(moving out with 3 kids). I was going to add, but didnt, that if we only had 1 dc we would have stayed in manhattan, no question. [ Reply | More

I love it too. A taxi ride to any neighborhood, park, store etc. Ditto on the overstimulation though. When I take db out in stroller she won't nap -- too much to see. But I think it's a good learning experience. [ Reply | More
