Sorry if this sounded critical of your suggestions — I wasn't. I wouldn’t have 
known this until the years and generations of children we have had here. I 
don’t know if all cohousing communities are like this but whatever thoughts we 
had about expectations of children went down the drain pretty quickly — good 
and bad.
