Cohousing-L Mailing List: Convincing the husbands

[MerylD (MerylD]

<< I'd have to convince my husband (wife, kids) that it'd be a good idea. >>

Hi all:
This sparked me to thinking that this is actually a problem we're having with 
a fair number of prospects. Several families have extremely interested wives 
(they immediately get how it will be better for cooking, taking care of the 
kids, socializing etc), but the husbands are leary, worried about loss of 
privacy, not being able to do whatever they want with their yard, etc.

Anybody ever do a marketing effort specifically to allay men's concerns? Or 
perhaps men on this list can help us out with some comments about what's 
great about living in cohousing from a guy's perspective, so we can gather 
the comments onto one sheet.

Thanks!
Meryl Davids
So Fla Cohousing, where we hope to break ground early 2003
