[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I run into these parents a lot in McLean and they are the most annoying group of people. Constantly talking about Potomac. Why do you need to mention the name of your kids school so much and so loudly? I will be across the playground and hear them chattering Potomac this, Potomac that. This happens all the time. And I constantly see adults wearing Potomac hats and clothing.

We never hear little Langley parents or parents from the local publics doing this. I used to live in DC near AU and never heard people out living their lives talking about the Cathedral schools. I have many friends with kids at Holton, Landon, Prep, Gonzaga, Sidwell, STA, GDS, etc. and literally never seen an adult wearing any form of clothing for one of those schools.

So long way of asking .... what is wrong with these parents? Do they have nothing better going on in their lives? It has certainly turned me off from ever applying my kids. [/quote]

Nothing is wrong with us.

Why do you hate POTOMAC?[/quote]

Happiness = quality of life minus envy[/quote]

Are you saying Potomac parents are unhappy despite their position?[/quote]

I'm saying there are a lot of envious mom in mclean that wish Potomac wasn't such a big fish in the northern virginia pond.  
The alums that couldn't get their kids in because they dialed back the legacy preference are especially salty.

Potomac lives rent free in their head and it really shouldn't.  Getting in as a 9th grader is like under 10%.  It's a lottery.  There is nothing magical about Potomac and Potomac families aren't better than your family, Potomac kids aren't better than your kid.  Just let go of the envy and enjoy your exceedingly high income life.[/quote]
