[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had one little baby at the start of the pandemic, who is now school age, and who now has a baby brother. When it all started and was going to be temporary, I did not mind. But staring down the barrel of what lies ahead for their childhoods is bleak.

Two years in, with the harshest restrictions put on our children with no end in sight, I really want to move. DC has changed, in my mind. The economy is dead. The energy of the city is dead. The kids are zombie sheep with no resilience or social skills because of the mandates imposed on them, if they're not also struggling academically and emotionally.

I'm just scared it will never change or turn around, and more open, less politically charged areas are calling to me.

I'm just wondering if others feel the same?[/quote]

I feel very similarly.  My problem is that I'd like to move to an area with good public schools; the nearest is Moco, and they are just as bad in terms of their anxiety about covid (in relation to schools).  So that means Virginia, and I would hate the commute.[/quote]
