[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't just sports. Everything in the DC Metro is scheduled for kids because parents are workaholics and overachievers.  That is why neighborhoods are ghost towns.  They are all out at planned after school and weekend activities. [/quote]

once again, lived in chicago suburbs, dc and now boston and it is identical-sign of the times[/quote]

I am a from a military family and disagree. This area is by far the worst. [/quote]

seriously?  where the hell have you lived?  Under a rock secluded on a base?[/quote]

So you think DC Metro has a nice balance and that others who have lived elsewhere are not in a position to state their opinion? [/quote]I'm not the person quoted that says they are from a military family, but I grew up a military brat with a younger brother who played sports through high school and I now have 2 boys that both play travel level sports.  I've lived overseas, in the midwest and way up north.  I think this area has the same balance as other places I've lived.   I dont see this area is noticeably different than other areas I've lived.[/quote]
