[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in high school.  Paul VI in South Riding.  Oh holy hell.  Vomit vomit vomit.  The multiple kids Catholic school parents and the "we've always done it that way" crap. I'm astounded.  I'm a Catholic and these "Catholics" are turning me off Catholicism. I'm staying away.   DD doesn't want to change, but doesn't love it.  PVI you are such a disappointment.[/quote]
??? You are criticizing Catholics for having multiple kids?[/quote]

Perfect example.  Hang into your pearls Karen. The criticism is owning the processes, PTOs, because of the multiple kids. Get over yourself.p[/quote]

Catholic here with two kids who didn’t grow up in this area. I have found the Catholic community in DC/MD suburbs to be pretty insular and cliquish. Very different from where I grew up in the northeast. Maybe that is what you are experiencing. If so, I’m sorry. [/quote]

That's a good observation. It's one part of the population here that has remained pretty stable. They grew up together, went to school together, belonged to the same parishes, played CYO and other sports together, etc, etc. It seems they all know one another, dated in high school or are related. As adults they belong to the same clubs (when they belong to one), send their kids to the same schools.

It's insular and they don't care a bit.

It's not this way in the outer VA suburbs. It's peculiar to DC and VA.[/quote]
