[quote=Anonymous]Eh, I really haven't experienced the crazy rat-race style of parenting in DC. My neighborhood (NW DC) is full of intersting, accomplished people raising their kids all over the spectrum of relaxed-to-uptight. Yes, the work culture is a bit, um, intense, but it's actually sort of funny if you take a step back and consider how insignificant most people's work really is (at least, that helps me keep perspective in the office). We live in a small house but moved from the suburbs before we had kids to ease our commute, and I really love our lifestyle. We pay a ton for childcare, but I'm not particularly aware of folks really splurging or judging on things like kids' clothes. In fact, my DD and a daycare buddy showed up in the same Target shorts for $3 last week, and us moms shared a little laugh about it. Might be time for OP and some of the others to find friends who really share your values.[/quote]
