There is a part of me that has regretted not having kids. Recently a friend of mine with two young kids (6y/o and 2y/o) has invited me to move in with her. I am really close to her children and am thinking it might be good for me to live in a household with some kids. But it seems weird too. I am very interested in your living situation.

Like I said, the saying 'it takes a village' makes a lot of sense for me. I see my daughter flourish in ways that I think (could just be parental bias of course) are not necessarily typical for her age range. She benefits from all the unique perspectives of the adults around her, and she's incredibly cheerful and reciprocal of the love she receives. If you get along with the family, don't let being weird scare you away from what may be a very positive living environment. Do take into consideration your own needs though, and whether you could tolerate being around children on a regular basis. Absolutely what Bean said.

Our son is getting ready to get his masters from Cornel and daughter is starting college at U of A. I say that for my benefit as I cannot believe that I was flying them around the room just... yesterday. They are wonderful at all ages, they just don't stay small long enough. She is lovely. Blessings.

The rest of the household lives upstairs, while my husband, daughter and I live in a two bedroom apartment downstairs. As for how it occurred, there was another Kim posting at the time I started posting with any frequency, and I didn't want to usurp her handle, so I added the 'basement variety' to establish a difference. :) Hehe yep.
