[quote=Anonymous]Sigh....I am one of  your old white neighbors. Life really doesn't change because you move and I really doubt you ran into all your friends right around your condo in DC. all the time. We've all been there- it's not really like that.  You are  simply are one of those " I'm too cool" people who is ashamed to admit that you sold out to the suburbs. Except you didn't sellout- you only think you did. I had a pretty vibrant family and friend life while living in the suburbs with young kids, and I also had a great one living in a remote rural village in Europe. Yep- it's not about where you live, it's not your clothes, it's not your 'cache" it's YOU. Are telling me that there are NO other people with kids anywhere around? There certainly are more kid- friendly activities in the suburbs. I really doubt you will feel the need to hang out in bars and coffee lounges anymore. Perhaps your issue is that you are too immature to be a parent- you still see yourself as a hipster.

Now walk in your living room, play a record (I know you play records, lady) and dance with your kid. Next, find a mommy and me group, a dance thing, or a playgroup, and try to brush off  your affectation  before you go.  And don't forget to talk to your neighbor- yeah- that 50 something lady (me), she might be one of your  best neighbors and she can tell you who to hire to clean the gutters, where to buy this or that, AND introduce you to other neighbors. You are not on different planets.[/quote]
