[quote=Anonymous]Once your kids get to middle school and high school, it doesn't matter.

I was so happy when my kids got out of elementary school and I wasn't forced to be in situations around the type-A, uptight parents.

Kids start doing their own thing when they are older, arranging their own get togethers, heading out on their own.  REFRESHING.

I also find even the travel sports parents start losing steam.  It becomes clear they don't have the next Lionel Messi or Peyton Manning by 14 years old so start to relax about it. Parents stop hovering at practices by middle school.

Pick a place you want to live.  We live in a very close-in walkable neighborhood.  I hit the jackpot that our street and the one adjacent to it have very laid back parents.  I don't know if it's being close to the bars or what.  Or, living in an area that every little noise (kind of like the city) doesn't set off a twenty page Nextdoor neighbor rant.

You do start socializing with people not based on your kids to as they are older.  It's so much nicer.[/quote]
