[quote=Anonymous]I feel that I committed to raising a living, breathing human being who has feelings and needs, something my parents had no clue about. I parent the opposite of them because they were clowns.

Apart from that, no I don't "owe" my child anything extravagant beyond basic needs however, I provide all of the things that I can because I only have one child which makes it easier and because my DS doesnt ask for a ton of stuff despite being surrounded by very very wealthy friends/classmates. So yes, I fund extracurriculars, private school, sleep away camps (domestic and international), vacations here and abroad, skiing over spring break & Presidents etc.

We have the same house we always did, its a great 2 bed/2 bath mid century and I don't need a huge house even thought I can afford a bigger one. I drive a Tesla. I'm saving for both college and retirement. I have hobbies and interests but at the end of the day DS comes first. No matter what anyone can or can't afford that's the most important thing. [/quote]
