[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're doing that now, but my DDs are in Middle School. We live in VA and they go to school in MD. We make it work - I do a lot of driving back and forth. With most of their friends in MD, no one ever wants to come VA for anything. There's not much that's spontaneous. When they were at our neighborhood school for Elementary there were lots of impromptu playdates after school. I'm glad we had that proximity when they were younger. You can definitely make it work, but get ready to do a lot of driving![/quote] This is us. I have had parents say “we tell our kids not to make friends with VA kids”. It’s a joke but there’s a grain of truth-but the kids befriend who they want and don’t care about geography. As a VA parent in a MD school, I feel like the burden is on me to make it easier for them to have play dates/hang out time so I will offer to do some of the driving. Get a car you like ;)[/quote]
