[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the moms I know from Cleveland, Dayton, and Columbus suburbs, may not be overly wealthy, but say they and their neighbors are able to stay at home with their kids verses here where many families have to earn two incomes to get by. Many homeschool. That just may be who I know. I typically only meet the moms who have husbands in a professional career here. I don't travel there much. And they are very involved in school and into sports. I really don't see much difference. If anything they spend more time focussing on their kids then the other moms I meet. And the DC area is 55% white per Wikepedia.[/quote] This this the former Ohio mom who posted in response to you earlier. Wikipedia says 38% white in DC and 37% white in Cleveland - very similar if we're talking about inner-city. I live in Fairfax, VA and coming from the Cleveland area, I feel like I'm surrounded by rich folks! haha! Maybe you live in the district and things are different? Contrary to your experience, all the moms I know in Ohio have to work to scrape by (assuming they can find work with the economy sucking as much as it does there - thus, why we are here) and all the moms I know in Fairfax stay home with their kids (even though they are now school age). Incidentally, in a ranking of top median household incomes for 2011 by counties across the US, the top three are in VA (Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington) - counties in Cleveland, Dayton and Colubus don't even make the top 100: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-income_counties_in_the_United_States [/quote]
