[quote=Anonymous]In my marriage I am the one who is over DC and wants to leave. I think this is partly because I have been here longer -- 20 years to DH's 10. I also think that because I am the primary parent I interact with more different institutions in DC (schools and activities and childcare etc) whereas he mostly just interacts with work and friends. I also handle most of the stuff related to our house. When I was in my 20s and mostly just interacted with work and friends I really liked DC. After years of dealing with child-related stuff plus being a home owner in DC I am pretty tired of it.

Anyway we are compromising by staying in DC until kids finish elementary and then moving to suburbs. It will make school easier and will also give us more space when kids are older and need more space. For me it means 4 more years of living in the city and not really liking it but I can look forward to a house with a yard and a garden and less density and better schools in 4 years. DH gets four more years to enjoy being in the city and will hopefully feel more ready to move on at that point.[/quote]
