Liveaboard families w/small children, under 37'?

Hello,
I'm curious to hear from liveaboard families with young children on boats under 37'. I'm not looking for arguments as to why it's a bad idea - have read the thread on interior arrangements for families with children and understand the argument that kids need privacy, space especially as they grow older.

What I'm looking for are thoughts and viewpoints from families who have done it contrary to conventional wisdom and how they did it while addressing their children's needs.

Thanks in advance!

You'll notice that I had responded to your question on another forum. Here, I looked at your site and saw that you had visited our friends Justin & Jenny. All of our times raising children aboard were in Florida. I'm sure there are added challenges in the Northeast. While our children were with us we lived at four different marinas. Finally, staying at one that was more "child friendly",- grassy safe play areas and other children living aboard. Take care and joy, Aythya crew

I know this is an old post, but a 37 ft child is just ridiculous! :-P
