[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the city, got married, moved to the suburbs and now we are back in the city. I probably just haven’t noticed, but what has living in the city taught your kids compared to the suburbs?[/quote]

Rich white “progressives” are so extra. [/quote]

I’m actually not rich or White and I’m a native Washingtonian from Ward 8. Honestly, my kids enjoyed living in Northern Virginia for the years we lived outside of the city just as much as they do within the city. For me it was hard because of the reactions other parents would give me when they found out what part of D.C. I am from. It’s just so strange to me the way there is this sort of local discrimination but it doesn’t apply to people from other cities etc… or even other parts of this city such as NE, SW. My experiences don’t mirror those of others from D.C. but just my perspective. We truly enjoyed the availability of new and diverse experiences especially cuisines but I struggled with local relationships. It was as if people had this alien view of what exists in SE or how I could exist coming from “there” as a human who did the same things in the same ways that they do. Do not be shocked to see me put one arm in at a time when I put on my jacket.  :lol: I am a living, breathing, boring human just as you are. [/quote]
