[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're anything like me, you will be sorry you raised kids here. It is nothing like that dreamy, suburban upbringing you (and I) had. Especially at the NWDC privates. I have two high schoolers there now and they HATE it. My DD especially wishes she had grown up the way I did, and not the way her crazy, miserable faither, who grew up in DC and also went to one of the elitist privates did. If you can go back to Miami, you should. I would in a heartbeat, but my husband got us trapped here.[/quote]
 oH my god. This is my fear. I too grew up in a very different area on the west coast. My husband went to a private school outside NYC and thinks DC is the norm. It is not. I really wanted to move when my kids were younger. Now it seems we are stuck here too. I'm feeling very depressed about it as my kids are entering HS and it seems that they will go to school here until they go to college. OP, Move now if you can.[/quote]

Speaking generally, adults in DC are pretty boring  and uptight as compared to other cities. It lends to a vibe that is not that much fun. I've been a parent at 3 different DC independent schools. My friends in SF and LA have a much more fun and laid back group of school parent friends than the parents at any of those schools.[/quote]
