[quote=Anonymous]When I first moved here one of the first things a mom said to me was "Metro parents prefer bragging about their kids than raising them." I was so taken back. I am a transplant from Texas and most moms do not work there or have part time jobs. It is indeed super crazy around here. The competition, the sports, music and dance for kids. Real Estate for homes in certain schools that don't seem to be any better than my old school township. I work part time because I have to, to honestly pay for the extras that come from this area. Cost of living, activities, preschool prices which are insane here. Your husband must have a really nice job for you to stay home so be grateful of that. I too get very homesick, especially when I have to go to work in the evenings and just want to put the kids to bed but I have tried to accept it here. I live in Fair Oaks and it is just okay with kids playing around, nothing like home. But there are a good amount of moms home during the school day. Too bad you can't come here. :) oh and I agree with another poster. Make friends with other transplant moms.[/quote]
