Duplexes are very common in our town. Some are newer but all in my neighborhood are single family homes that were converted at some point. Out of 11 homes on my block, 4 are duplexes. The block up from me is almost entirely duplexes....

DD1 was close to 4 when DD2 was hospitalized for the first of several stays. DD2 was 3 when she spent the night for the first time with my mom. DS1 was 2 when he went away with DH for a night. I just left DS2 for the first time last...
