I'm only one of the non-parents in the group, but it's pretty much a
non-issue for me.  I can imagine getting miffed if there were an attitude
of entitlement from the parents.  There is, I think, a group expectation
that we welcome children and their parents and will be flexible to their
needs.  

On further thought, I could see this being perceived as an attitude of
entitlement if we weren't fairly closely knit, but, then, that's one of
the points of cohousing, right? :)

         And why should night and day be so radically divided?
             Is there anyone for whom loving and thinking
                 are lived as different beginnings?
 Would I have to spend my days with the one and my nights with the other?
