Yep, I’m a Mom, and thanks!! Side note — my 2 other kids live in Acton, MA (expensive Boston suburb) and Alexandria, VA (mega-expensive DC suburb). They’re there because that’s where their jobs have taken them. They sometimes get caught up in the paycheck-to-paycheck struggle - we help them out when they need it, not often, but we’re there.
I know Acton well. Nice town. A lot of young couples are moving to that area because it’s still somewhat affordable.
