UrbanBaby Asks...
Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

i'm a little offended by the derogatory use of "bridge and tunnel" in an earlier thread. true, i grew up in queens and so that makes me b&t, but it is truly a sign of unjustifiable snobbery to assume you are better because you live on the island of manhattan
15 replies [ Reply | Watch | Moreop here - guess what? now i live in rockland. will you now stop responding altogether because you believe i am too low for you to talk to? what does b&T even signify these days - someone smart enough not to pay too much to live in manhattan simply because they think living in manhattan makes them some kind of insider hipster? no thanks.
[ Reply | More ]I think it depends on you. I have a family, so I live in a house that I could afford in Queeens that's in a good school district and my commute is 30 minutes. If I were single I might want to live in Manhattan. Diff'ent strokes.
[ Reply | More ]or - not at all - I was just clarifying what many Manhattanites think of as B&T now (as opposed to 20+ years ago). FWIW, I live in Brooklyn and don't judge anyone based on where they live.

That's really not true. It means anyone who has to cross a bridge or tunnel, literally. That includes Brooklyn and Queens first and foremost.

B&T is not even primarily about where the person actually lives. Just like any number of recent People Magazine cover girls are routinely called "Poor White Trash."
