A very important question

Be mindful of your nice neighbor he/she is up to something.
If you and your husbands where 80 year old geezers I would accept that neighbor to be a nice neighbor.:p

And in answer to your question. Till your kids are little ones live in an apartment so that you do not have to worry about who takes out the trash. Once they are old enough to do that job then move to a house and they will do it for you if they want their weekly allowance.
