I’ll tell you how the kids feel (mine anyway).
I have a freelance lifestyle that leaves me working around the clock for three months, then a SAHM for the next three. When I’m working, the kids complain that I don’t cook dinner, don’t do enough laundry, can’t come to school functions….
Then, when they have my undivided attention, they want to buy some expensive toy or gadget, and I have to say I don’t have the cash. They tell me to get back to work.
Grass is ALWAYS greener…:)
How do the children feel?
I would add Ditmas Park/Victorian Flatbush to the school debate. PS 217, PS 139, and, the CIG (Center for the Intellectually Gifted) elementary school on Avenue L.
The dog thing is totally freaky – like they are stuffed, and the focal point of the shots to boot. Kind of like that stuffed ostrich in the BedStuy house last year.
no one seems to be asking how the children feel.
Look, PS is a nice neighborhood – I own and live there, and am a working mom struggling like most New Yorkers these days who are not a) extremely wealthy and b) lucky enough to have bought a home early. (And I won’t even get into all the debates about SAHM vs. working/nannies v. moms – why must we always digress so much here?) But that still does not mean that 1.8+mil is reasonable for the Warren Lewis 15-ft listing. I think 1.5-1.6 tops is more like it. You simply can’t do much with 15 feet.
re: clifton place
much as it serves my interest for prices to be high in this neighborhood (i own a loft across the street on the CH side of classon) I think they are smoking crack. 1.4 million? it’s a tiny house. And, Corcoran conveniently omitted the fact that a 7-story tower – can’t wait to see what monstrosity they build – is going up next door and will probably cast a huge shadow over the property.
i’m 11:14 and i can tell you that there are a lot of kids here, and there are a lot of BOTH SAHMs and nannies.
fwiw, i do my best to be happy with our situation. i think we are lucky in a lot of ways. but brownstone envy is a toughy tho, as i am sure many on this site can attest.
😉
“I don’t begrudge people here their success…but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit envious.”
This is a pretty basic principle in life. Your hubby could have chosen something that his heart was in…perhaps music, or photography or a not for profit and had a lovely life with money not dripping out of his ears.
Or he could work 16 hours a day on Wall Street or at a Hedge Fund.
Everyone makes choices in life. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work on Wall Street. It was a life choice to make lots of money.
The moral here is that money does not equal happiness.
Your statement of envy just seems so much like that of a martyr. I don’t get it. This is the life you choose. If you want your daughter to have a home without any apartment numbers, then go get another job or tell your husband to quit what he loves so he can make all your dreams come true.
