I was searching for fertility related info local to the dc area before I had my first. 11 years later, I’ve moved out of the area but still check back in about once a week.

She had her baby in 2012/2013, and the mom already passed away?
That is so incredibly sad.
Poor kid. 😕

Came for the manny forum ~ 2006. Left for a long time but then came back when I needed information about private HS.

It’s hilarious how mean people have been to us on here at one time or another > yet we cannot quit DCUM.
Lol.

I came on here in 2012 looking for nanny advice.
Still do.

I used to work at a kids gym in the DC metro area. I probably have met some of you in real life, though this was almost a decade ago now! I moved away but still read here frequently. Childfree by choice. Love the travel, family relationships, advice topics

Looking for a house and found the real estate section. I branched out from there. Forever amused to learn what is tacky, what people’s HHI is, what’s going on with true crime, etc.

I think I discovered DCUM in 2008. Was looking for help and advice regarding my DS who was 5 at the time and had some possible (not yet diagnosed) mild special needs. I got a lot of great advice regarding doctors and therapists.
