My husband and I are considering a move, and Hermitage has recently caught our attention. We currently live in Rutherford County, and one thing that’s made us hesitant about looking in Davidson County is that we constantly hear people say the school system isn’t as good.
We have a young daughter, so schools are a big factor in our decision. For those of you who live in Hermitage, what has your experience been? Are there any neighborhoods that are zoned for particularly good public schools? Or do most families end up applying for magnet or optional schools?
We’re trying to decide whether we should keep focusing on Rutherford County or give Hermitage a more serious look. I’d love to hear honest experiences—the good, the bad, and anything you wish you knew before moving there.

Has anyone struggled postpartum with a parent not showing up the way you expected?
I’m completely exhausted trying to balance work and motherhood, and I’ve been really hurt by the lack of support from my mom. I keep finding myself wanting to revoke her access to me and my baby because the resentment just keeps growing.
If you’ve been through something similar, how did you cope? Did you set stronger boundaries, accept the relationship for what it is, or eventually rebuild it? I’d really appreciate hearing from moms who’ve been there.
