[quote=Anonymous]There’s a couple of things at play here I think. On the one hand, I’m very glad they’re growing up here and not in the small town Midwest like I did. People here are educated and the area is prosperous. We have so many activities to choose from. I think it’s really a great place to grow up from that standpoint. I’m glad they’re not exposed to the heroin/prescription pill epidemic in Ohio where I grew up. This area is diverse and interesting, not 97+% white and skewing elderly. And people in the rest of the country ARE NOT inherently “nicer” or whatever, there’s a lot of bitterness and resentment toward people not exactly like them, and if you haven’t lived in the area for generations people act like you don’t exist. On the other hand, we definitely live in a small home, and even my 4 year old has noted that Larlo and Aiden from preschool have big houses with separate playrooms, large bedrooms, etc. But, he’d probably notice that no matter where we lived.[/quote]
