[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HI.  I am feeling particularly sad today that I am living here and so tired of the pace here.  The running to work, the running the kid to activities, the constant competition...   You see, I'm a midwesterner who grew up with a third of the traffic of this place.  We never struggled to find parking or had to wait in line to do things.  I often feel that people here look at me as if I am crazy when I express how tired I am of this stress here and the rude people who are always in a hurry..running, running everywhere.   To me, life was just easier.  I am a slower moving person.  I don't thrive on stress, or being super planned or being first or having my kid be a super over achiever.  I just want her to be happy and healthy.

I cannot get out of here and am stuck.  We both need to continue working to pay the bills and to fund our retirement and our jobs are based here.  Husband is a New Yawker who doesn't know what it is like to grow up in a slower environment.

We are stuck here because his business is based here.

I love him dearly but want to MOVE and I can't.

Just looking for like minded folks to gripe with today.  I need to know I am not alone.

Sorry for the bitching!

I was born and bred in DC and I feel this way. I have alternated with a couple years abroad and a couple years in DC for the last 20 years. I am planning a summer visit for my sons to see the grandparents and I am dreading it.  Just arranging ped appointments on the phone with the snitty curt schedulers whom you have to pull information out of made my BP rise.
