[quote=Anonymous]Sounds to me like you need some marriage counseling more than you need DCUM advice on school choice. I'm not writing this to be mean. But it sounds to me like you've been living on two different plants on two fundamental aspects of about the next ten years of your life as a family: house & school, and maybe there is other stuff hidden in there such as work/life balance and considerations about what the next 10 years will look like, maybe how much of that will be sucked up by kids and school and how much of it devoted to you as a couple. The book "Smart Couples Finish Rich" gives a few good pointers but I'd say talking this through with someone whose profession that is would be money and time well invested, for your benefit and that of your children, who'll probably be fine regardless but not if their parents pull each others' hair out over schools. On the substance: I've never hear of a "pyramid" but wanted to add that - at least based on our experience - there is much benefit from choosing what's best now over choosing what's best five years from now, certainly in DC, where the landscape changes more rapidly even than your recognition of your children's needs and inclinations.[/quote]
