[quote=Anonymous][quote]Every once in a while someone starts a thread like this that stirs up a brouhaha. Have you noticed that most things you complain about can be solved with more money? The problem seems to be that you don't have enough and other people who have more beat you to the closer/larger house with better things for you LO. [/quote]

I wouldn't say it in such a pissy way, but this is actually the succinct answer to OP's question.   How do people raise children pretty easily in DC?  They have HHIs of about $400-700K.  Very common up here where I live.

You buy a nice sized home with plenty of bedrooms, you send your kid to either JKLM or a private of your choice (easily), you hire a legal nanny to watch the kids until you get home and she drives your minivan to soccer practice.   Your housecleaner was there today, so no probs there.  So was the lawn crew.

If you have the right nanny, maybe she cooked you all something healthy for dinner.  She shopped for you at  Whole Foods while you worked.  If not, you go to Sushi-Ko or Pete's Apizza and call it a night.  Your commute was about 36 minutes, door to door (11th and Penn to 35th and Macomb).   It's all good, and really the only thing you're stressed about is making gluten-free pancakes for your daughter to bring to the pajama day party at School ____ .  [/quote]
