[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I faced this same dilemma 16 years ago and moved. Happy wife happy life.

Is your firstborn a girl? It’s likely your wife is looking at the kids around here and thinking she doesn’t want her kids to be like them. I can relate and there’s really nothing rational you can saw or do to counter it.

And why would the Midwest be “failing?” I can’t speak for Ann Arbor, but southern Ohio is booming. Good jobs should are plentiful and the area west and south of Columbus down to the northern suburbs of cincy is really nice. I go there for work often and the people are really nice, mortgages don’t leave them house poor, schools are good, and the pace of life seems manageable.

From experience, [b]raising kids and teenagers in the dc metro is a complete circus clown show every day[/b]. Maybe I’m romanticizing it as greener grass, but trust your wife’s intuition. [/quote]

Raising kids in the DMV is similar to any large metro area.  I have family in NJ (NY suburb) and Dallas and it’s more or less the same.  [/quote]

Why is it a circus clown show? I don’t have teenagers yet so I’m curious. I moved around a lot growing up though and every place has its challenges. [/quote]

Mostly due to horrible traffic and one spouse working downtown. I know for a fact it’s easier in other non east coast cities. There are probably ways to simplify it by limiting kids activities and having them ride the bus and be latch key kids. But if you want to do the typical 21st century american family thing, the dmv is one of the hardest places to do it.[/quote]
