[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are y'all moving to that is so chill? Honestly, I have friends/family in UMC places all over the country (Chicago burbs, Seattle, SF, Houston, Indianapolis) and everyone is stressed and competitive and driving hours and hours for travel soccer.

TN, SC, NC, Colorado, Florida - those are the ones I personally know people left for.[/quote]

I’m in a NC area coming from a competitive FL area. Both are competitive. It looks different. Just last week two parents were pushing the refs at a basketball game. Two local board members. The refs got loaded and said it’s a kids game, and the first game, we heard you. If you think this stuff doesn’t happen elsewhere you’re wrong. That said some people don’t participate because in smaller areas they don’t have money or haven’t been exposed to these ideas. And guess what they end up in lower end jobs. So I don’t know. For is it’s been good, because we are ahead of the pack but there are small town striver parents here for sure. Travel parents also. I agree friend groups help but it’s there even if you chose not to participate. [/quote]

I don’t know much about NC. Florida absolutely is competitive with sports, much more than the DMV. Florida is also more superficial and places more pressure on beauty. I would rather buy my daughter some lululemon than her asking me for breast implants.[/quote]

Pensacola isn’t Destin isn’t Jacksonville isn’t Palm Beach.[/quote]
