Obviously, I am obsessed with figuring out where to live, since 98% of my posts are about it one way or another!

So, my question for moms who live in the city with their LO-- do you have a car? How often do you drive? Is it more than you did pre-LO? Is it more than you expected to, pre-LO? Tell me the pros and cons and how things changed once LO arrived.

This comes up right now for me because we are moving, staying in the city near public transportation, and I am trying to figure out realistically how much I'll be driving. I hate driving with a passion, but I know some things are just going to be easier to accomplish with LO in a car than in the stroller or in the carrier. If I will be driving more, it makes having a private parking spot more important. I'm not sure how much I'll want to take a baby on public transportation, which is my primary way of getting around now. Ugh-- I just want to know where I'll be living!
