Here's a Question:

My niece posed this query to me
over the weekend:

So which is better:
a neighborhood or country living?

My niece and her husband have a 2-year old, and another baby due this summer. After she wrote this to me, I tripped down memory lane in an attempt to give her sage maternal advice.

I gots nothing.

We lived in neighborhoods when our kids were young, and while there, we rented pasture land for our kids and their horses. We moved to the country, to an old farmhouse and acreage, when our kids were entering their teens.

There were great things about both lifestyles.

And there were downsides of both as well.

What do you think? What's your opinion?

Kindly spill your guts.
