I'm finding the same here. We are getting more dirty looks than I could count, so I'm just trying to get over it! In fact, they can even not rent a house to you because you have kids, so we're looking at "kids allowed" properties! Like they're pets or something. About the house, that's so how it would go at our house too. E would probably want to do the right thing... and I'd have a hard time letting go of the money. Sigh. I'm working on my attitude to!

I wonder if it is all over the country or just in some places because I never noticed that here. Of course, it's been a few years since my kids were little!<BR/>I think you did the right think in lowering the price of the house. You will be getting a good deal on the one you buy and I think you may have felt guilty later if you had taken the original price.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.com
