[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived in a tiny townhome in a middling to slightly depressing neighborhood in NOVA. Then we sold, moved out of the area to a mid-size city, and bought a gracious, large, 100-year-old home with a big, landscaped yard, a wrap-around porch. We are living in the best neighborhood in town, with good schools and walkable to a village center with tons of shops and restaurants.

Move. [/quote]

It's funny to see how often the "people in DC are competitive and status obsessed" turns into "so we moved and now we have a big house in the best neighborhood."[/quote]

Exactly.  It's about money and status.  They don't hate the parental culture, they ARE the culture.  They just dislike where they think they stand in it.  They geoarbitage to a place where they feel they will have a higher relative status.  Smaller pond so to speak.  [/quote]

Even if true, what is wrong with that?[/quote]

There is nothing wrong with that.  There is something VERY wrong with threatening to kidnap the children if your husband disagrees with you about whether to move or not.  Also, making up false reasons for wanting to move or calling it parental culture or other such euphemisms is just b.s.[/quote]

No one in this thread is supporting the idea of kidnapping anyone. I don't really think that's what OP was talking about, but you seem obsessed with it for some reason.

I'm just saying there are lots of good reason why someone might want to move out of the DMV that have nothing to do with being upset that you aren't high status enough here. I know so many people who want to move and I don't think status really comes into play -- they are MC or UMC in DC, they would be UMC where they want to go, their main concerns are cost of housing, schools, and lower stress. It has nothing to do with status.[/quote]
