[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vienna is the suburbs on steroids.  There is an immense amount of pride in being "family-friendly," an intense focus on conventional youth activities like sports, band, and scouting, and a huge premium on being pleasant and "not rocking the boat" as opposed to being opinionated or unconventional.

It is just how Vienna rolls.  If you're a traditional two-parent family, your kids are typical kids, and you have a high enough income to pursue things like travel teams and high-end vacations, it can be very reaffirming.  But you have to expect other parents to watch over (and keep tabs on) your kids like hawks, and if you don't fit the mold you can quickly grow disaffected.

+1!

Vienna is a special kind of suburb, it’s out for everyone.
I used to live there, moved to Burke after 10 years to address exactly what you are wondering about. 
Burke is much more “real”, there are single families, less travel sports, etc.  I think you need to broaden your geographic net to find your group. [/quote]
