I ain't sayin there aren't positive trade-offs.

Among the things you better not be all that interested in if you live in a smallish house with two cats and three little boys:

1.  neatness.
2.  having a clean carpet.
3.  regular, purposeful, intense exercise.
4.  quiet.
5.  gourmet cooking.
6.  substantial reading of books without pictures.
7.  films.
8.  conversation.
9.  privacy.
10.  objects d'art.
11.  having a manicured yard.
12.  keeping dirt off the car seats.
13.  study.

Hahahaha! We are laughing, because we can and we are done with our turn. I can actually sleep at night. On the other hand, I have to get up multiple times a night...for other reasons. You have to be over 50 to understand. But then we miss the high-pitched little voices...and the house seems too quiet sometimes.
