Paradise? Are we in the same place???

I moved here with my husband and two children last year to be closer to my retired MIL and I can't wait for our lease to expire. The education system is laughable. State-sponsored VPK is nice but after that, good luck. If you're at all reasonably well-educated the schools here will make you cry for your childrens' future prospects. I doubt you could throw a rock at a group of people and hit anyone who could construct a sentence using a plural possessive. There are tons of VERY young mothers here (literally tons; the obesity epidemic is rampant here, too) and very few people in possession of all their teeth. If you aren't on a boat on the river every weekend, you're not part of the community. And, if you are on the river, you're practically in the shadow of the lovely Crystal River nuclear plant. Do yourself a favor. Pay a little more in rent each month and live closer to Tampa. And move away before your kids start school. Unless you're retired this place just isn't worth it.
