[quote=Anonymous]We've lived in the D.C. area three different times each time for about 2-3 years. We tolerate it as best we can. We chose a further out suburb with easy transportation into the city (Burke) so that I could stay home and we could still afford to rent a decent home. I did everything in my power to take care of things at home so my husbands life was less stressful. And I tried to protect my kids as best I could from all the nonsense. It's a little easier in Burke because there are so many military and government families. They are more like us....grounded in reality! We lived in the District for a few months thinking we might live in the city and put the kids in privates. It only took about four or five weeks for me to realize that while it was fun for a little while, it definitely wasn't the way I wanted to raise my family. We make the best of it while we are there, but we always look forward to getting back to the "real world". [/quote]
