[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You did not explain what you don’t like about DC, but given that this is your first child, [b]I wanted to give you a word of caution. The childhood you (we) had does not exist anymore anywhere. My friends in California have their kid is travel ice hockey at 6…[/b]

Again, I don’t know what you don’t like about the DMV, but if it has to do with kids, you might not find what you want anywhere.[/quote]

I grew up in a lower COL red state and people down there are also signing their kids up for travel sports, worried about college admissions in the long term, schlepping their kids all over for activities, dealing with traffic/return to office, etc. And childcare isn’t really that much cheaper, especially compared to the lower incomes.

I agree with the PPs who suggest figuring out what you want. Also is there something particular about DC you don’t like or is it living in a city altogether that isn’t for you? Do you want more land? Do you want more neighborhood kids around? Do you want easier parking and less traffic? Do you want a cheaper area so you can SAH? [/quote]
