[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just when you think you've heard all of the ways parents can be crummy to each other!  good grief.

And, to the PP who is saying that he/she doesn't invest a lot in friendships with renters because they might move: most people that I know who have moved out of the city with their kids had owned their houses, so homeownership is not a good indicator of stability.  [/quote]

Also--if someone is renting IB of a hard-to-get-into school, it's probably because they want their kids to go to that school.  So they would seem to be as likely to stay for a while as a homeowner.  And DC is a pretty transient city to begin with, so not bothering to get to know people because they might move is going to drastically shrink your pool of potential friends.

And I suppose I'll get to experience this--we are moving so our kid can go to a specific school, and will be renting.  A bummer to know that some people won't bother befriending us because we rent.  My consolation is that people like that aren't really worth getting to know.[/quote]
