[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is OP. Aggressively middle of the road might be my exact vibe! Haha. Not politically — our family is ultra liberal, non-traditional. But we are aggressively middle of the road in terms of income and interests and desires for our kids. We just want a normal, happy, healthy life. My kids are not athletic, so the comment about Burke being super into sports is interesting. They are still young but they are more chess/ reading/drama kids at the moment.[/quote] There are kids in chess/drama/music, etc. here in West Springfield (35 year person here). My kid was into music and he has very good friends from that (and he still sees them even though he has been out of school for 12 years). A few kids in our neighborhood put together a band and my own kid used to practice under a beloved tree with other kids. The schools have great music and arts programs. Everybody finds their niche wherever you live (because there are a lot of families in all of these suburbs!). Our kid was in recreational sports and enjoyed that too, but that is not where he found his friend group. And we had chess club in our schools (and my kid participated in that for many years too). You will find whatever you want to do here. I will say that scouts was dominated by the military kids/families and that vibe was not really for my kid or for us. But you can choose from many, many activities here. Lots of kids just ride their bikes/scooters and play in the neighborhood too. And we lean left politically and have neighbors who do as well, but that's not the most important thing to us. [/quote]
