[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am white/US-born/euro-American.  Live in a very expensive neighborhood in DC.

I have found that my favorite Mom buddies are invariably the women from other countries.   It doesn't matter which, either!  English is their second language.

I always gravitate to them over the more common archetype who populates my zip code.   [/quote]

I think I used to live in your neighborhood:).  I was the same way.  I was the only 'American' mom in a big circle of International women.  What I liked about it was there was such a different perspective on child-rearing, family, etc.  There wasn't the competition that comes with American-style parenting.  I found these moms to be so much more down-to-earth. There also wasn't a 'keeping up with the joneses' mentality.  I have some really lasting relationships from those days and have even been overseas with my family to visit a few that have moved away (and vice versa).

I loved the neighborhood as a whole because it reminded me so much of my time living in Europe.  I also made friends with a lot of the nannies too![/quote]
