[quote=Anonymous]Look, obviously some people lack the resources to “make it work” but those aren’t the people posting here. They aren’t. If you’re an average Arlington parent, “making it work” looked like checking your attitude and reassessing your actual level of privilege . It looked like teaching your kids resilience by modeling perseverance and perspective even when things got tough. You don’t even need money to do that, or nannies, or a beach house. The problem is, a LOT of DCUM parents had such a hard time this year because they themselves lack resilience and perspective. They couldn’t fall back on it, let alone teach it to their kids. No amount of tantruming or “throwing money at” something fixed it (for the first time in their life for some of them). Even with health, a home, jobs, food, utilities, some parents here felt they were exclusively being targeted to suffer. I’m sure that was tremendously difficult on them and their family. But thag doesn’t mean they objectively truly had it all that bad. [/quote]
