[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you already made the choices you prefer—private school is more important. [/quote]

NP, but in a similar boat as OP.  Yes, we are choosing to prioritize what we have now over adding another kid.  Private school for us isn't about an exclusive or ivory tower education, it's about ensuring our kid is in a safe, well-resourced classroom.  Our private school isnt even that expensive, but we couldn't easily take on another tuition.  We love our community and to uproot would mean losing short commutes, losing our neighborhood, and giving up on many of the things that make us happy.  It's not "private school is more important" separate from everything else, it's that we have a few big costs that enable us to live where we want, etc.  While I long for another kid in our family, I have no interest in moving further out in the city, or to the suburbs, getting a car, giving up all of the local amenities, etc.  If I could afford another private school tuition and more space locally then another kid would be a no brainer.

Also, "choices you prefer" doesn't mean some sadness at the choice not made.  But it is important to remember why we make the choices that we make.  I'm grappling with some regrets, but it's good grounding to remember why I prefer the choice I made over the alternate.[/quote]
