[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People in this area have a ton of money and no ability to entertain their kids at home. We stick to unknown local playgrounds, our backyard, and activities around our house. [/quote]

Agree. We typically avoid all these places on weekends, unless my kids are invited to a birthday party at one of them.

I think it’s a mix of disposable income, inability to entertain kids/teach them to entertain themselves, and some weird kind of consumerist FOMO. [/quote]

Also agree. Most of the items on that list sound hellish to me and I'd only go if obligated. We also avoid overloading weekends with classes or sports leagues for kids.

We like hanging out at home on the weekends. We'll go for a hike, run some errands, maybe invite another family over for an early dinner where the kids entertain each other and the adults get to talk. Occasionally we'll do a museum, but we like the less crowded ones-- National Gallery or Udvar Hazy. We also sometimes hit up the library or a bookstore, maybe stop in a cafe for a treat before heading home to read our new books.[/quote]
