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

Visited Hoboken yesterday(good friends moved there) and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. DH and I are talking about it as an option (due in 5 mos) for more space but we had never considered it befroe. Any Hobokeners on?
16 replies [ Reply | Watch | MoreMoved here 7 years ago, now have 2 kids (1yo and 3yo). I love it, but it isn't the same as living in Manhattan. Not in a bad way, but anyone who tries to sell you on "oh, it's just like being in the city..." isn't being honest. Some things are better: more for your money, housing-wise, slightly slower pace), some things aren't (fewer school options, can't take a cab home from the city, if your friends are in the city, it takes a lot of planning and cajoling to get them to visit). I have times that I really miss living on the UWS, but moving here was a great choice for us and our family.

Love it love it love it. Have 2 kids ages 1 and 4. Sending older kid to public preschool here (free and good). For elementary not sure yet but charter schools are excellent and hearing good things about the public elementary esp. Wallace. Great sense of community. New mayor and board of ed members + increasingly active parents = things are looking up for education. There's a yahoo group -- google HobokenMoms -- and you can get a lot more information there.
