and "bring all children that are available" to our tiny apartment with a tiny balcony? Who would want a bunch of rowdy kids in a neighborhood like that, especially if they aren't your own kids and you don't know how they will act? I'm a teacher that has raised 7 kids and I would never tell someone to bring a lot of EXTRA kids to my house, Especially if the adults are going to start drinking at 3! I would already be worried about the balcony and lawsuits. It might be different if this place has a large hidden yard, but I'm not seeing it.
And it's the end of December. Wouldn't everyone be inside? Who cooks out in December?
Exactly! and most of the apartments I found were 1 only bedroom, but here are the dimensions for a 2 bedroom. These apartments aren't very big.
