Many couples move to be near grandparents for help once they have kids. Or once the kids start school.

There are a lot of other very cool cities in America where the standard or living and sense of community are fantastic. There are pros/cons of course.  I really hope to move out of here by the time my oldest hits 6th grade or so, and do MS and HS in a normal place not here. So F'd up here for pre-teens and teens - private or public school. [/quote]

I have literally never met anyone in DC who moved to be closer to their parents.  My parents were too busy to want to be near my kids.  Define cool cities b/c I moved 2x to be in one of those "cool" cities and  moved my ass right back to DC.[/quote]

??? Then you probably don’t know anyone with kids. It’s very common to leave dc and move back to where you are from once you have a kid.  Some people wait it out, wait for #2 or #3, but I agree...it’s pretty common.

And someone else says it isn't so perhaps it is common among your circle but not common among theirs. I personally don't know anyone who left DC to move closer to family. Does my anecdata trumps yours?[/quote]

“Moved right back to DC.” Not surprising based on the tone of your posts. You must fit right in.[/quote]

Yes, I moved right back to DC.  My tone?  Dummy, I just wrote the first post about not knowing anyone who moved to be closer to their parents.  Yes, I know people with kids.  Hell, I have 2 of my own.[/quote]
