[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't actually have to move to leave the rat race. There's plenty of middle class people in the DC area who live normal lives.[/quote]

Op here. The problem is that we aren’t middle class and pretending that we are is both unrealistic and just dishonest to everybody involved. [/quote]

“Pretending” you’re middle class???
Wow, OP. You sound insufferable. Stay in DC.[/quote]

What's your criticism here exactly?[/quote]

There are lots of really wealthy people in dc who are quiet about it and just plugging along - not really in the rat race and doing jobs that they enjoy. Teaching, non profit, social work, etc. I think some of this is your attitude and it’s not going to be any different anywhere else. [/quote]

Even if you don't want to be part of the rat-race, it is everywhere--- the way people are in parking lots, in grocery stores, the way teachers teach and their expectations that are above developmental norms for many kids, it's the traffic, the rudeness and entitlement. Once you move away from it, you realize people are kinder, chat with you in stores, wave to you from the car, stop for bikes, etc.... parents trust teachers and schools still have fun and let kids be kids while still learning....I get what the OP is talking about and once you separate from the DC metro area these differences are jarring.
