We tried the suburbs on a short term basis. It was a disaster, so we moved back to the city ASAP. [ Reply | More

We underestimated the toll the commute would take on us. We idealized. In reality, when we factored in the drive to the train station, the train to Penn Station, the subway, and the walk to our office, it was 2.5 to 3.0 hours a day of travel time. 3 hours on top of a 12 hour work day meant that we never saw our dc and had to hire a second nanny!

We moved to a lake town in northwest NJ. I work from home and DH only needs to go in 2-3 days a week, so the commute works for him (1.5 hour door-to-door most days). But last night after dinner, DH and DS went down to our dock after dinner to fish before bedtime. [ Reply | More

I moved to Eastern Long Island and after 1 year got to say I love it. When I miss the city I just go and visit. Once you get useto this lifestyle and your children get useto being so free you never can go back. [ Reply | More
