[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I will play - Arthur and Tess.[/quote] You are a Korean American couple who moved to DC for graduate school (Georgetown Law for him, Georgetown Med for you). You were surprised by how much you fell in love with the DC area after having grown up in California (you) and Michigan (him). Your parents weren't thrilled about that decision, especially once the grand kids arrived and your in-laws actually relocated to Rockville two years ago. They keep urging you to move to Rockville, too, but you are happy in Glover Park. Arthur is in fourth grade, loves science, is a whiz with Lego robotics, and has frequent nightmares from all of the Rick Riordan books he reads. Tess is in second grade and loves any and all crafty things. This puzzles you since it is not your forte, but you order lots of crafts kits from Amazon and sign her up for art and pottery classes. Your mother and your mother-in-law think you are too indulgent and think you should insist that both kids take violin, but you just don't have the energy or desire to fight that battle after a long day of dealing with whiny pregnant patients. They are also disappointed about the fact that you don't speak Korean with them. When you were pregnant and anticipating parenthood, you were sure you would but it just didn't happen and now it would just take too much time and effort. Let the grandparents teach them if they want them to learn. It also bothers your mother that you allow your mother-in-law to cook for your family several times a week. She doesn't understand why you have to work full-time. You have a maid who comes once a week, but you don't trust her and frequently find yourself cursing her under your breath because there were dust bunnies under the dining room table again, but you don't have the courage to confront her or fire her. You hate conflict which also explains why you have never told your husband that you hate when he clips his toenails in the bathtub. You love Italian food, you have season tickets for the Kennedy Center, and you hate Karoke. [/quote]
