[quote=Anonymous]OP, I felt that way last year, when a good friend of mine got into two of the most popular charter schools, and 2 DCPS that are also good. I was very resentful of her family's good fortune and sad because we were not similarly fortunate. The reality is that with housing costs like that, your options are stay where you are or move to the suburbs. Many, many people in the city face similar options. My housing costs are almost TWICE what yours are (we rent) and I am grateful to be matched at a so-so elementary school nearby. The thing you have to keep in mind is that your friends are not gloating and bragging to make you feel crappy. Imagine how happy YOU would be, given your situation, if you got that kind of windfall. It would likely be the same situation in reverse. Be happy for your friends, that they have so many options, and then figure out what the best option is for you. [/quote]
