[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because a lot of moms here want to be cool enough to be Needham or even Wellesley Moms, but instead, they reside on swamplands.[/quote].
Boston mom here.  [b]Dcum are the wannabes [/b][/quote]

And yet here you are…on DCUM.

I think there are people, like myself, that wouldn’t mind living in NYC. But it’s laughable to think anyone here covets Boston. Very few people here even [i]think[/i] about NE - never mind want to live there. But this provincial thinking is common there; I was the same until I left NE and went to college in the South.

I would never consider living in Boston and I own a summer home in MA and don’t even like DC that much…

But to get back on topic, New England has 1/2 the ivies and more than 1/2 of the top liberal arts schools. It’s just a fact that New England private colleges are some of the best and are discussed on a board full of wealthy people.[/quote]

Yeah sure, very few people here even think about the Northeast... I'll believe that when they stop talking about it [/quote]

Reading comprehension is your friend. DCUM wants to send their kids to elite New England schools. They don’t want to live there.

A couple of posters said DCUM moms wished they were moms from Wellesley (lol) and were “wannabes” who wished they lived in New England. No one in DC aspires to live in Boston, never mind the sleepy suburbs there. It just isn’t a thing - people don’t think about NE unless it’s for college.[/quote]
