[quote=Anonymous]OP, please let go of the competitive sport that is living and striving in DC, or you will never be happy.

In no other part of the country, except perhaps New York, do people fixate so much on what they do or do not have compared to others, or on what they have or have not accomplished compared to others.

You do not think that you fall prey to this one-upmanship?

Well, in one short post you have managed to convey your disdain, or is it pity(?), for those "failures" who attend "prestigious" secondary schools, but "crappy (second tier or worse)" colleges.  You state that you and your spouse earn over "$1 million + per year", and "could easily afford private school".  That you "have friends who attended Exeter and Andover".  And you point out that you and your spouse attended "HYP".

Do Harvard and Yale graduates speak like that, or hold those attitudes, not the ones I know and love -- and I know many.

So I am going to assume that this is a good, old-fashioned Thanksgiving jest or "fool", like the one on April 1st, meant to get beloved Aunt Martha's goat up as Cousin Billy finishes his college applications.

But if it is not, OP, then please do not feel that you have to compete with, or subtly (or not-so-subtly) put down your friends -- or worse, their children -- who attend private schools.  Let go of the competitiveness, striving, one-upmanship of this area, live your life as you want without comparing yourself to others, and you will be much happier.[/quote]
