[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:35 poster here and current SSSAS parent. I don't get that vibe from Belle haven moms at all, sounds like you had a bad particular experience Nader for that I am very sorry and hope you and your family are happy in your new school.  IMO I kind of look down on Belle Haven, it's kind of far away and right off of Route 1, I remember our real estate agent telling us how great Belle Haven was and when we went to look at some houses I could hear all the Route 1 traffic and see some of it.  It doesn't seem prestigious to me, you have to drive everywhere, no sidewalks, not close to school or the metro or restaurants.  And don't get me started on the belle haven parents that send their kids to a cathedral school or Potomac. They must spend all day in their car.  Would stress me out.  But all those women seem lovely to me.  The issues I have run into with kids asking "where do you live?  Where are you going on Spring break? What does your daddy do for a job?" Etc are coming from the kids who live in Beverly Hill.  I find the questions funny and fascinating, especially driving them home from play dates, etc.  One kid said in my car "you know. We go to the jersey shore, but not that jersey shore with all the tacky people, the clean part.  That's where my mom is from.  She's getting her tatoo removed from her ankle before the summer so we can go back.  She said we have an expensive car.  Your car is ok....."

Like I care what a 7 year old says, and it went way over my DD's head.  It was funny to me.  Trust me that is not unique to SSSAS.  Every school has humble brag collar popping kids  don't let them stress you.[/quote]

My child recently had a playdate with a kid talking like this. She went on and on about her mom's great car, her big house, etc. Well, the mom invited me in, the house was so dirty and dated, I couldn't believe this mom was teaching her kid this snobbish behavior. [/quote]
