Sorry, loser, it doesn't make you an urban folk hero. You're still from Charlotte, NC.

DC native and I love it, but I often feel like the place I grew up with is completely different from the one I read about on DCUM.

I moved to DC from somewhere else and self-identify as a city person and I also think the place I read about on DCUM bears little resemblance to the city I live in.

No one from here cares, bro. And acting like we 'sold out' when we moved to Fairfax County so our kid could get a decent education makes you look twice the fool.

SAHMs with kids in school full time who go on and on about how busy they are. With home decorating choices, going to the gym, driving their kids to activities...stop going on and on about it, especially to your friends who work full time.

Jealous?

No. I love my job and I find it very fulfilling, but I am tired. And if I had 30 hours a week that I wasn't in charge of anyone else and had time to go to the store in the middle of the day when it isn't crowded and time to work out and time to keep the house clean at a leisurely pace; then I wouldn't complain constantly to my friends who work many many more hours than I do about how exhausting my charmed life is. I would be sensitive to the fact that they maybe aren't as fortunate as me

I have zero issues with SAHM, totally not judging that, but acknowledge that your life is privileged and know your audience.

You assume people are envious of SAHM. Some might be, but definitely not everyone. Most of us have been both anyway.

If people do that fine. But don’t make it like you’ve always been into design. You got into design via a huge credit limit and pottery barn.

Very true, everyone I know who is "into decor" and gets lauded for "AMAZING DECORATING SKILLS!" also happens to be loaded. I'd be more impressed if someone with no money managed to make a statement with decor.

That's me. I make $16 an hour working in social services. We live in a townhouse. Love my job even though the pay is bad. I work PT and have two young kids. Our sofa is from big lots. Some items are higher end but nothing besides a painting was more than $500.
I get compliments on my decorating a lot. We have moved several times. I feel it's part of my personality. I love decorating but I don't change stuff seasonally. I don't do outdoor decorations. I will send a photo link. I did get kind of expensive blinds in soft pink for the main floor.

Before and after of open dining room. I also did a glass panel for our fridge and I love it. The fridge was around $1500 and it doesn't get fingerprints. We went with soft pink panel. Since my floors are grey pink brighten up the space. Our kitchen cabinets are natural wood and I dressed them up with black and brass hardware. The space isn't finished but I'm not planning on adding anything for a while. A brass floor lamp would look great next to the sofa.

You realize that there are only seven continents right?

Yes. I don’t see it as “privilege”; I see it as a choice and one I’m happy to have not made. Presumably they are happy with their choice as well.

Omg this a million times. The parents who have more school spirit for their kid’s college than I ever had while I was actually in school. And people who graduated 10 years ago but still wear their school sweatshirts, hats, license plate frame, key chain, baby onesies, etc. for their Ivy all while pretending they’re not hung up on status.

I have neighbors in their 40s who recently redid their basement in a full on Penn State theme. You went there for 4 years 25 years ago. You don’t need 1000 square feet of your house dedicated to it.

Penn State is an entire personality type though.

I know more than a few people who went there who are aged 45+ who are obsessed with it in a way that is just weird. Football, basketball, wrestling, keeping up with campus happenings as if they are still living on campus. Some of it is about brainwashing their own kids starting at birth including by going up there 10 times/semester for sporting events (when they know no one playing on those teams and it's a 3+ hr drive one way) so that when it comes time for their HS junior to pick colleges, Penn State is the one and only school on the list. And viola mom and dad get to re-live their glory days thru their kids for 4 more years - I'm sure the kids love mom and dad showing up at every drunken tailgate.

Omg this is so accurate. And I didn’t even go there, but I’ve heard all about “Thon” than was ever necessary. I mean I’m sure it raises a lot of money for a good cause, but dear lord, no one else goes around bragging years later about doing some fundraising.

I feel like you all haven’t encountered Univ of Michigan alumni. I’m a Penn state alum and don’t do this at all, but the Michigan alumni- wow. This could be written about them. There’s several in my family and those I know in the DC area and they are so obnoxious about this school.

Hard disagree. Life circumstances made it so that I was exposed to military culture/life intimately without being in the military. Military wives have to pack up and move their entire families every 2-3 years, immediately adapt to the new location/culture (and help their kids assimilate), make new friends, find new resources, and generally make up the lifeblood of base activities and community, ALL with an embarrassingly small amount of support. The nature of their husband's career make it so that they themselves are effectually prevented from developing their own careers, but their husbands and kids would be lost without them as a governing force.

I have more respect for military spouses than nearly any other group.
