I'm the one whose friends in NYC were always referring to their kids' schools when the kids were 3 mos to 18 mos old. I didn't care -- I was single and childless at that point and I wouldn't have cared if they said they were dropping their kid off on Mars every morning. But it became noticeable and odd when people would go on about how they absolutely NEED TO buy/rent on the upper east side or downtown or wherever because they couldn't rip their kid out of his SCHOOL. Meanwhile I'm thinking -- uh Bright Horizons, don't they have another one in our office building??

Also got a kick out of the fact that once the kids were 2-4 yrs old and into that "what will you be when you grow up" stage, the mommies would beam with pride as their little geniuses would say orthodontist, investment banker, ophthalmologist (despite not having parents in those jobs). Seems like the high dollar Manhattan daycares that indoctrinate the parents that they are schools also indoctrinate the little tykes about high $$$ professions bc these climbers do NOT want their kids coming home and saying they want to be firemen or truckers.[/quote]
