[quote=sdsurfer][quote=SDHopes]As the OP of the Temecula thread,
I can tell you that we didn’t move to Temecula for the size of the house.
In fact, we are a family of four and have happily lived in small apartments just as well as large homes.
What my family has learned living in both situations is this:
Extra space is great for storage (all that baby gear) and play areas. A yard is great to have as well once your little one is older. However, nothing beats the great outdoors. Even if you have the biggest house- your kids will still want to go to the park with their friends. You can live in a small apartment and provided there is park access (maybe even a pool or the beach nearby) then you are going to be just fine.
Hope this helps![/quote]
Thanks! Don’t get me started on the baby gear…that stuff is crazy. I mean…a wipe warmer? that stuff has gotten out of hand. I definitely agree with the outdoors. I grew up in a rural area and loved shooting bb guns and hiking around. I can’t wait to get my kid a red ryder….well I can wait a little bit. ha![/quote]
Yes, it seems that for most people their best childhood memories are outdoors. No mention of house size.
