I realize they live far away, may have different political views and I sure as hell don't want to drive out there for a play date. I also get the sense of social climbing and that stench is hard to ignore. So I say hi and then ignore them completely because if DD makes a friend who lives in McLean I sure as hell don't want to drive out there on a Saturday.

Social climbing? More Old Money and status in Virginia than in MD, darling. Probably DC, too.

Well I live in DC. And you know you're wrong. Nova is so new money it hurts. Everything is gaudy and flashy. People trying to live outside their means so they lease a new car yearly to try and create false status. Eh. Call me when your family has a crest and funded America's railroads.

Lol. No the people in Nova are the same people in MD and DC. The same. Now there is some new money around so there is some but those people are not sending kids into DC.

Have you traveled in MD outside the DC suburbs and Baltimore? Total nostalgia for the good ole confederate, slave-holding days. Total Trump country. It's why we decided not to buy a second house at the MD shore, lovely though it is.

Well, in VA they actually voted to go back to good ole confederate, slave-holding days.

Even the IT sweashops in NoVa want to go back to the 'good ole days'

The firm's HQ is in Loudoun county, which is Trump country. Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax are purple, leaning more blue.

Only idiots take one incident and turn it into a sweeping trend.

If you think Arlington and Alexandria are purple, you need to do some more homework.

Not only are Arlington/Alexandria not purple, they’ve always been “blue.” Arlington/Alexandria were Union territory. They were exceedingly anti-slavery and the union set up defenses along the “Arlington line” in territory that was pro Union to protect DC.

Still too much Lee this, Jackson that and "war of northern aggression" memorabilia. Get the rest of the Confederate dead-enders out of your state and we'll consider letting you come to our DC parent's parties.

Imagine being so desperate to appear old money that you go on an anonymous internet forum to bang on about the Confederacy. Sad, really. Those “DC parents parties” likely only exist in your mind.

Imagine being so pitiful and desperate to defend the confederacy that you claim to celebrate “heritage not hate.” News flash: Your heritage is hateful.

I’m grateful that I don’t live in the land of delusion, confederate monuments, and lost causes. VA is teetering on joining its more southern neighbors who wish to bring the Handmaid’s Tale to life. Do better Virginia!

Lol I neither live in nor am from Virginia, so “my” heritage is not anything. But your obsession with this is not normal or healthy.

Lol—you’ve decided my comments criticizing Virginia’s confederate history (and present) is obsessive! You must be from an even deeper part of the south. I can smell the secession and treason on you through my screen.

Your obsession with defending your confederate roots is not normal or healthy.

Nope, still wrong. I’m from a free state. You are still disturbed though.

No, you’re definitely from the confederate south. You and your ancestors are/were on the wrong side of history though. You’re disturbed for defending such a disgraceful history.

Lady my ancestors didn’t even come to the US until the 20th century. Get help.

Sure, Dixie. 😂

I don't look down on new money. I'm just saying, it's new.

I look down on people from VA for being unimaginative and boring.

Simple, no one wants to drive over the bridge out to BFE for a playdate. The primary reason we live in DC and close in MD is to avoid that commute to VA.

Have you visited Woodbridge, VA? It’s country and crime infested.

Btw, it sounds like you can only afford the dirty and dangerous part of DC. That’s not where I live. Too bad for you.

You have used “boring” and some variation of “unimaginative”in 3 posts. That’s pretty boring and unimaginative. I think you need some new material. Come on over to Virginia so we can expand your vocabulary a bit. My meemaw taught me words like repetitive and stupid and condescending and poseur all of which apply to you. Your probably a second generation transplant from NJ trying to other yourself in some way. Some of us came to Virginia to leave people like you behind. Plus we like horses and wine and we can have both here. And a bunch of good colleges.

I'm the one who feels fine about things. You're the one who is secretly worried that other parents are looking down on you and then when told why think it's grounds for therapy. Nobody needs to go to therapy -- get some imagination and stop being so boring. Then buy a house in DC. Voila. Problem solved!

You have used “boring” and some variation of “unimaginative”in 3 posts. That’s pretty boring and unimaginative. I think you need some new material. Come on over to Virginia so we can expand your vocabulary a bit. My meemaw taught me words like repetitive and stupid and condescending and poseur all of which apply to you. Your probably a second generation transplant from NJ trying to other yourself in some way. Some of us came to Virginia to leave people like you behind. Plus we like horses and wine and we can have both here. And a bunch of good colleges.

NP. Horses and wine? Is that your flex?!? That’s just…sad.

A “bunch” of good colleges? 🤔
Virginia has two good (not amazing colleges) in the entire state: UVA and W&M. However, you do have a bunch of mediocre colleges.

P.S. Thankfully, my children aren’t interested in attending public universities, so UVA, W&M, GMU, UDC, UMD, etc all have the same level of importance to us—nothing.

Given that this is an anonymous forum can I hear from people who feel this way and could they say why?

I don't think its part of the rehashed issue that VA families should use VA public schools and not "take up space" in DC privates given that the public school system may be better in NOVA. I am assuming it is something else.

Anyone open to sharing their thoughts?

There is a feeling among some denizens of NW DC and the close-in MD suburbs that people who buy houses in Virginia don't quite "get it". They choose more space and lower housing prices over all that the more densely populated and more expensive NW DC and MD areas offer (including the private schools).

I know this is a stretch, but its sort of the way Manhattanites feel about people who live in NJ. Not so extreme. but the same sort of thing. Their thought is, "Who would live in Virginia?"

I grew up in NWDC (and went to privates) and my parents definitely felt and feel this way about people that choose to live in Virginia. I live in Virginia now and they pack like they are going on a trip and complain about crossing the river when they come to my house. They have been condescending about people who live in Virginia since they moved to DC 45 years ago! Funny thing is that I went to a Virginia private for a spell and those parents looked down on mine for living in DC. Who knows!
