[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread actually clarifies a lot about DC for me.  It has the reputation for being a city full of really awful people.  I've defended that more times than I can remember by telling people that it not that people from DC are awful. They are just busy and stressed because it's a tough place to live and work.

I was wrong.  You people suck.  I'm thankful I didn't raised my kids anywhere near DC. They were babies and preschoolers the first time.   When we moved back they were grown. Seriously, go back and read this thread. If you are "grooming" your kids to be anything other than kind, loving, hard-working, compassionate people committed to finding their own path - you fail as a parent.  If you are pushing them towards the college of your dreams, please seek therapy.  I see the result in real life in DC and here on dcum and it's really, really ugly.

THIS is why we are choosing between a monster and a criminal for POTUS.[/quote]

I'm not sure who you are, or why you're trying to turn this thread into something political (??), but let me tell you something.  I'm a DC-area native.  I've lived elsewhere on and off, including overseas, but came back here because it's my home.  The people you're referring to, who are truly "awful," are NOT originally from this area.  No, they come from other places and are sure they've "arrived" because they landed a job in DC or thereabouts.

The fact is, most of these uber-ambitious parents you speak of are transplants who feel they've got something to prove now that they're out of their small hometowns.  Those of us who grew up here are down-to-earth and normal and *don't* groom our kids.  So please stop claiming that elitist morons like the OP are representative of those of us who were born and raised here, by [i]loving, kind, hard-working, and compassionate people.[/i]  They're not.[/quote]
