Should I switch schools? He is otherwise thriving at his current school.

Volunteer at Beauvoir. It doesn't matter whether DC goes there or not. Once you get into the Stepford Volunteer Network, you'll get all the valuable playdates to raise your status, and DC's, all without leaving your otherwise wonderful current school. The best of both worlds, really.

Hi!

I'm tall and thin, have long blond hair (which I maintain on a regular basis), and am a SAHM with a nanny and maid and a son enrolled full time at a big name school. I also volunteer on a regular basis. Yet I'm having a hard time finding a mother's group that fits my style.

any advice/avenues to pursue?

FWIW, we are planning on moving to the Maryland suburbs from DC, and I'm currently in therapy learning coping mechanisms to help me with the move.

TIA!

This is a scientific study about re-enrollment contracts so please respond.

Would like to know who did not sign on the dotted line. What school and rising grade? Why?

Example:
Sidwell Friends, 6th grade (next year's grade)
We're moving to another state. (optional)

DC/MD/VA Private school, going public. Rather not say the school or the geographic area or the grade or the number of children, since I could be identified.

One of my toes is longer than the other ones and I have dry skin on my elbows. I am wondering if this will affect my child's chances to get in to one of the big 3 when they interview the parents.

I am also wondering if they weigh the parents in the admissions office or if they just ask your weight. Please add discriminatory comments about overweight people in your answer. This will help you feel better about yourself. TIA!

Wow, you have dry skin on your elbows? This will definitely reflect poorly on your kid during admissions, because everybody knows that people with dry elbow skin are lazy and slovenly.

I wouldn't bother buying a designer suit to try to camoflauge your elbows. People just *know* you have this problem, and they will write you off anyway.

No one who misplaces an apostrophe like that went to any of those schools. Sorry, but your grammar has large public high school written all over it.

Umm - as the SAHM of a highly gifted high school student who attends a prestigious public magnet program, I take offense.

Umm, I feel your pain. It's so hard for us. Can we have a separate forum?

I hate moms who drive their shopping carts at Ikea like they are at nascar. Just because there is a baby in your cart does not give you free reign to run people over.

My four year old son likes to dance, and wear nail polish. Do you think I should just go around telling everyone he is gay now? Or should I just wait for him to feel comfortable enough to come out of the closet?

Also, I was wondering what type of dog is most likely to bite children? I am thinking of getting one, not getting a license, and letting it bite my kids. Then I will say it's my neighbor's (I can't stand them) and sue them. So if you know what type of dog, or you have an overly aggressive dog, please let me know. Email me at [e-mail]

this is the farce thread, not the annoying moms thread. that said, those carts are impossible to control; the baby just adds centrifugal force. why do all four wheels move around?????
