[quote=Anonymous]We are here because my DH would not be able to work anywhere else really (very specialized govt job) and I wouldn't make half what I do anywhere else. We are grateful to the area for those reasons. We live in Alexandria in a 2400 sq ft townhouse for a decent price and commute to DC for work (30 minutes). We spend quite a lot on daycare, but we love it!! We will send our child(ren) to parochial school because Alexandria publics just aren't that good and we don't think 30k a year for private is necessary to produce a well-educated, successful person. We do spend 50 bucks on shoes because, like others have said, my daughter has XW feet and Stride Rite pretty much has the monopoly on those shoes. If you choose your friends wisely, you don't have to end up surrounded by the uber competitive people and/or helicopter moms. There are pockets of people here who are grounded. I hope you can move away and find a place to live where you will be happy![/quote]
