[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back and I want to steer this back on course. The response to many of these questions confirms my hypothesis. I like my job and have had some success here, but I also don’t want to have a child that resents me or thinks that I put a career before his happiness. [/quote]

Have you considered moving out to a place like Burke or Chantilly where people don't get so crazy about politics?[/quote]

The neighborhoods that have a higher concentration of military seem to have more reasonable folks with regards to politics.

You might have chosen a place with a good DC commute, but if the neighbors are horrid and cruel to your kids, a job change won't help that.

Military spouse here. Not an unreasonable idea. Is it a catholic school you are at?  We live just outside the beltway in the Annandale/Burke/Springfield area and my kids are at a catholic school where I'd say it leans conservative but is politically mixed.  We're new this year so I'm probably not super-aware of all the social nuances, but I couldn't imagine your child being ostracized like that at our school.

I will say on email typo, I did that to one parent for my son's bday party evite.  My eyes are old, the print in that dang directory is so small!  I caught it a week before the party, thankfully!  My point is that could easily be an honest mistake.  [/quote]
