People can be terrible because they think it's a big enough town that they won't run into you again.<BR/><BR/>I guess these questions about child-raising are pretty basic, but I never *really* thought about them until talking with my cousin. The couple really has to function like a team, or it all falls apart.<BR/><BR/>Hey Tammy!<BR/>Wow about your sister. I bet it's impossible when the kids are little, but easier when they can at least walk around?<BR/><BR/>Still, it has to be so tough. I don't think I could do it.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-10814948234054891942008-02-10T18:44:00.000-05:002008-02-10T18:44:00.000-05:00I have a sister who is now a single parent with 3 ...I have a sister who is now a single parent with 3 kids and I have no idea who she does it.

I realise this every time I date ;-)<BR/><BR/>I think it takes a lot of money to raise kids in New York without a support network. I saw first hand how much my sister relied on family when she and her husband had my nephew. It would be tough to go it alone.

It's that kind of place.<BR/><BR/>Roentarre, thank you!<BR/>and thanks for visiting. I'll have to check out both your blogs.<BR/><BR/>Hallo, RB!<BR/>London sounds amazing.

It was impossible to buy a house, stupid to run a car, daft to have children - so I was free from pressure to do anything except enjoy myself. Wonderful. And I love the buzz of living in a big city - the feeling of energy. It's almost as good as sunshine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-48559935014233982262008-02-10T07:33:00.000-05:002008-02-10T07:33:00.000-05:00What a wonderful protrait!
