Anyone facing jealous friends now that your kids are in private school?

[Anonymous]

Seems like OP and the Facebook PP lack emotional EQ. None of my friends are “jealous” because we don’t mention it. And when someone asks something about FCPS and we’re forced to admit we’re in private, we make it seem like it’s because DD does better in small class sizes. Which, she does, but the real reason is FCPS. I’m not going to say that though!

We told people we wanted religious element in education and the satisfied them. But know that they are still steaming about it. One time I posted something on Facebook about common core and how I am glad my kids don't deal with it, and this rabid mom attacked me. She is one who asked my why I pulled my daughter out of MCPS before anyone. She also seemed happy to hear that it was religious reasons. But now she knows there are other benefits we enjoy and she is angry.

So you post something inflammatory on Facebook, and are annoyed that someone reacted to it? You can’t even see your part in this, can you?

Of course I do. But it was effective at knowing true feelings. I am always looking for opportunities to purge toxic people in my life.

So clearly you did it on purpose, and are now claiming that the responder is the toxic one. You sure are something else.

DC is competitive.
We never talked about it and still some of our friends got weird when my kids went to private high school.
Then a few of them applied their kids to private/Catholic schools for 10th grade.

We experience similar (though DC were always in private). I don’t think it is jealousy, but disdain for our choice. More of a ‘why would you make that choice when our public option is good enough for all of us’ vibe.

No not at all. It was a response to someone else's post on the subject, so just stating my opinion. But I really don't care because I knew all along there was fierce jealousy on her part. Her daughter exudes the jealousy to my daughter as well at the pool. She is always competing with her on things like what team she is on, etc. It is so funny to hear about.

So your method is to post obnoxious things on social media and see who takes the bait because the people who take the bait are the toxic ones? You won’t have many people left to purge soon after you’re the one purged.

Yikes, OP. You clearly don’t have any friends and it’s not hard to see why.

People in this area are competitive. No surprise there.

Are some people jealous that your kid got into a private? If its a Big 3, probably so. Having a kid at a Big 3 means your kid is a high achiever and that you can fork over almost 50k per year. Deal with it.

That’s the thing - you do. You really really do. But since you are seriously lacking in self awareness, you’ll deny it ‘til the cows come home.

People in the W areas ought to used to families sending their kids to private schools. About 1/3rd of them do.

You sound very defensive of your decision to send your kids to private school.

Nothing to deny. I clearly pointed out I knew exactly what is going on! Did I provoke her? No. She responded, and I knew right away I was right!

This is too effing funny. If you think you are making yourself look like you were in the right here, YOU ARE NOT.
If you think that saying something provocative will not provoke people, then there is no rational conversation to be had here. You keep doing what your doing, fighting against and purging those toxic people from your life!
