Do private schools require (or request) financial aid families with SAHM get a job? If yes, how?

We need federal subsidies for schools so that tuition can be reduced and everyone will stop comparing apples to oranges to bananas and be so bloody nasty to each other.

Are you nuts? Then the kids from families that now have the huge advantage of being full pay would be on the same footing for admissions as middle class or even poor kids. That is crazy talk.

Also, do you ever tell your school what you think of the FA children at your school? Do you ever reduce or eliminate donations because of your position on FA?

Following.

You and others are conflating financial aid, in general, with the OP’s inquiry of a working prime and college educated SAHM complaining about not getting a big enough aid package from the school. Not a minor detail.

Well, there is one way to avoid this... don't be a freeloading layabout SAHM. Get a darn job. Any mother can go get a part-time job at childcare facility. Or Target's always hiring -- $15/hr x 20 hrs week is $15,000.

Then take out 35% for taxes, then medicaid, medicare, and all that and she's left with what, $8-9K. Then, take out before and after school care and she'll end up owing money.

$8-9K is absolute bear min, yet still likely more than the FA figure she’s complaining about! So instead of pointless Facebook posting all day & begging for a FA handout, she could stock Target shelves from 9AM-2PM. No need for a sitter, just work part-time during school hours. But of course it’s easier to make up crazy excuses and spin that she’d actually “lose” in the end for taking up a low-impact part-time gig. Because the SAHM is lazy and it’s fun to do nothing all day and play pretend that you’re wealthier than you are while scamming a school’s FA dept.

I think this thread has opened a bigger can of worms than the OP. PPs have made sweeping statements about their attitude toward FA in general. Questions stand. But no one will answer.

Has there been another thread about this? There must be, but I haven’t seen it. The OP sounds very petty and bitter. I’m not a SAHM, but my mother was and she worked so hard to take care of us and our home. I couldn’t put a dollar figure on what she did for all of us. If there was a Target back then, I’m sure she would have been there getting us what we needed (you said that was one of this woman’s common activities). I quit FB because I find it stressful, but when I did do it, it didn’t take any time to throw up a post.
OP, this SAHM might be an extreme case. I don’t know any who don’t clean, cook, run all errands, and a myriad of other things.

That would be the same stuff that working mothers do while also paying for a SAHMs tuition.

Well, bully for you. Give yourself a cookie! Being so “busy” doesn’t make you a better person than a SAHM. Some families value having a calm, relaxed home with a SAHM over a harried, frazzled, stressed-out household with two working parents. Let me say it again until it sinks in. You do you.

Sure, most people would love not be frazzled and stressed out. And many families choose to go public to make it more feasible for only one parent to work, or work full time. But it’s a bit rich for you to talk about how great it is be relaxed while all those frazzled families are paying for part of your tuition because you get to enjoy not being harried.

Seriously. Be a kept woman, knock yourself out. But don’t have single moms or dual income people subsidizing your laziness.
Get a job or go public.

Actually, if YOU don’t like how your private school is run, YOU should leave. It’s not your decision how financial aid is allocated.

Don’t like it? Leave.

I guarantee you will not be missed.

LOL Rich of you to tell a full-pay family to leave! Then who are you going to mooch out of hehe.

Goes to show that people have no problem with FA if one parent is not sitting on his/her butt.

I don't even have a kid in private school. But the WOHM mom is of course better than a leach SAHM.

Yes, because its so much better to have your kids raised by nannies, baby sitters, relatives or just leave them to their own to figure out life.

We are talking about tuition here, MONEY!, something you have not much of, do not change the subject. If you need FA and sit on your butt, people are going to talk. Hope these kind of families are outed.

You have no idea of the health status of the SAHPs. Maybe they are perfectly healthy, or maybe they have a chronic physical or mental condition that makes it difficult to work.

Just like you don’t know the full details of anyone’s finances.

So much judgmentalness!

Such snowflakes indeed! And they think their snowflakes deserve private school. Why cannot you just go public?

Yes, that’s clearly why there isn’t massive public funding of private schools.

Omg everyone relax. Schools will impute an income for stay at home parents. You can stop worrying about families mooching off schools for staying home with kids. You can focus your energy on whether fa families are spending too much on their homes and cars
