[quote=Anonymous]Yup, same here. I moved here in a very different era of my life when I was more interested in the rat race, but now feel stuck here in middle age with kids in schools and my DH and I in careers that don't translate well to other areas. We are hoping to, at a minimum, move to a less competitive and intense part of the region soon so that our kids can grow up somewhat normal and not just sign up for more of this. I started to feel like I didn't have the same values as people her in grad school but ignored it and now I wish I'd listened. I've made a nice live for myself here but it requires careful screening of friends and professional associates. I have learned to be very wary of people and to tune out the competition (at work, at school, at hobbies -- people here are so competitive and it can take the joy out of things).[/quote]
