[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you wedded to DC?   As a person who loved living in London, I'd strongly suggest going back there if you can.  London is a much nicer place to raise kids (and I say this as a mom who spent time in both cities with small children).

DC is perfectly fine, but I'd rather live in Chicago if I wanted to prioritize living in a city.[/quote]

OP here - Actually, we could theoretically live anywhere, just near a decent airport. Chicago would be great, if we didn't have to pay astronomical property taxes. It's a great city, but unfortunately, has some sizeable challenges. Currently, my husband travels a lot to DC, so we thought DC made sense. Additionally, we thought it would give a good sense of "international/diversity" to our children, we loved the thought of world-class museums and cultural attractions, better weather than Midwest, proximity to other cities/beaches/mountains....in short, things to do. Our current lifestyle that we find "uneventful" is that although we live outside a medium city, because we live in the suburbs, we hardly go to the city. If we live outside the city again, is it worth a move? Seems it would end up being a similar lifestyle at double + the price. P.S. Would move to London tomorrow, but for now, we are here[/quote]
