[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As PPs have said, just choose to opt out. Vienna gives you the best of small town and community focused, just don't get lost in the weeds of rat race/Foodie FOMO/keeping up with the Joneses. That's good advice in in general for the DMV.[/quote]

If you don’t want to be in an area with a very strong “keeping up with the Joneses” vibe, opting out of Vienna entirely would be the best strategy.  [/quote]

My SIL runs herself ragged trying to keep up with the Joneses in Vienna. Lots of money in TOV now with the newer homes. I know a few others who live there and it seems exhausting. Constant social media posts about kid sports. [/quote]

Not sure what your SIL is doing but [b]I've lived in the TOV since 2000, raised two kids there and have absolutely no idea what you (or your SIL) are referring to. [/b]Our family participated in some activities and events and skipped others. We had a nice circle of friends, but all had friends beyond that circle as well. Never -- never -- felt like we had to keep up with anyone in Vienna.[b] It is just a normal, nice place to live with a wonderful small-town feel. Nothing more, nothing less[/b].[/quote]

What was the average price of a home when you moved here? Things have changed significantly from when your kids were in elementary school. So, respectfully, you might not know what you’re talking about here.[/quote]
