My kids will sometimes go and play at my new neighbors house. 
That must be fun for them.  Our neighbor hood only has older people so my kids stay around the house.
I think I liked it better when my neighborhood had more older people.
See and i would have though the opposite, but I suppose if they are gone all the time it might get overdone.
It is a bit annoying to constantly hear my kids asking to go play over there. Then I feel obligated to go because some of my kids are still pretty young. I like to stay to myself.
Yeah, I can see that being an issue.  I guess your not as lucky as I was first initially thinking.  Im like you a home body.
