Mayor Bowser adopts a child (baby?)

[Anonymous]

I adopted a newborn around that age as a single woman. The child has brought me great happiness. I hope the same for the mayor.

It did kill my career, but hopefully she’ll have better luck.

She's running unopposed.

Right, but then there is that pesky “doing the job” part. But again, I hope it works out well for her. It’s a balancing act, as we all know. I’m glad I wasn’t mayor. It was difficult enough being “random professional.”

Her piss poor performance as mayor can’t get worse so I’m sure she’ll be ok.

More than likely she will hire a nanny or has a lot of family help.

Yes, but I will tell you that you don’t wait 45 years for a newborn only to hand over the majority of care to someone else.

Again, I hope she finds a balance.

She's my neighbor. I wonder whether she'll send the child to our IB, Shepherd, in three years, or go private.

I guarantee she will send baby to Shepherd.

Nah I bet she’ll go private. Like fancy, 30k a year private.

I think it is awesome. I bet that she will be a great mother and that baby is very fortunate. I hope they build a wonderful life together!

She will struggle with balance, like we all do.

And I would imagine this cements the fact that Shepherd won't be losing its Deal feed anytime soon (jk - needed to make it relevant to this board).

I'm not happy that I'm so cynical that the first thought I had was "I wonder where this child will go to school"

There is no such thing as balance with regard to work and family. Congrats to the Mayor.

I think that was a lot of people's first thought.

She’ll be a great mom. But this kills any chance of meaningful changes to fix Deal/Wilson overcrowding while she is still Mayor. Sigh.
