[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up there and it was good enough. Private schools were barely on my radar back then, except a number of foreigners would attend FIS or Holton. Otherwise, they’d have to pay for public.

I don’t think I’d want to live there now as I don’t want my kids growing up with the affluenza.

It’s materialistic now and lots of Botox.

I'm a middle aged woman living in Bethesda and no one I know does Botox or any other age-related intervention. My circle is not afflicted by affluenza, as in, they don't buy their kid a Jeep at 16, they don't run around covered in designer brands, they don't look down on others who live elsewhere. We save our money to pay for whatever college our kids can get into, or pay for expensive nursing homes for our parents. That's where the money goes!

It's pathetic when people just slap labels on neighborhoods and write them off. Morons think east MoCo is unsafe and gang-infested, they think Bethesda-Chevy Chase is full of rich snobs, upper county is full of hicks...

I mostly agree. We make good money but definitely sweat the big expenses. "The best college your kid can get into or nursing homes for our parents" really hits home. And we live in Potomac, and whatever everyone things about Potomac is worse, yet totally disjointed with our lifestyle (normal house, don't always mow the lawn when we should, drive Mazdas, didn't take a vacation last year and probably not going to take an international vacation this year, etc...). People raise their eyebrows when their hear your zip code and yes the schools are great but it's not like that. That said, I do get a little botox. [/quote]

Bethesda is...a very large area. You hater pps know that, right? There's literally like 3-4 massive high schools serving the area. It's like not just Bethesda Ave. Ofc it's a bit dull but that is just a product of bland, risk averse dmv. [/quote]
