[quote=Anonymous]I think what happens is people voluntarily seek out the "best" neighborhoods, schools, activities, jobs, etc., and then complain that those neighborhoods, schools, activities, and jobs are too stressful and intense. Good for you for choosing a different life for your family! We have tried to keep out of the craziness by sending our kids to public school in a good-enough-but-not-totally-affluent area, and keeping the activities to one or two at a time, mostly swim lessons, scouts, after-school classes of interest. Keeping it low-key means some things aren't possible, like travel soccer or late-night practices for the kids, or a big-time intensive job for me. For us these are compromises worth making. When I was a kid most of the crazy intense stuff wasn't even an option, so our parents didn't stress about missing out.[/quote]
