Cohousing is an excellent solution to this thorny, common problem. Prairie Onion Cohousing, here in Chicago, has been meeting for several years. They will probably get their development off the ground next year. The work of a wonderful group of people will finally pay off soon.

My husband travels even more than I do. What has given our daughter, and more importantly her parents, greater comfort is that we live in a cohousing community--where we have our own home, but are surrounded by neighbors we know well. I feel totally comfortable telling my daughter that if she can't get ahold of either of her parents, she can go to ANY OF HER 34 COHOUSING NEIGHBOR households to ask for help. It is a wonderful feeling for a parent to know that your kids are surrounded by people that care about them and will be there in times of need.
