and sometimes i feel awkward.
 i grew up in the area so went to a big 3 here.
my kids are in public and i feel that whenever i mention where i went to school, i get an automatic, "why aren't you sending your kids there?"

the school in question has gone up in cost 3 fold since i went there and while we are well off, we can't afford 2 of these tuitions... and i'm actually perfectly happy at our public school. But the school i went to is so well-known and well-thought of that i think people think i'm a terrible person for not automatically putting my kids there...

anyone else in the same boat?[/quote]

Not exactly but I understand. I get a lot of flack from family because everyone on my side (including me) went to parochial for like generations and DH's family is pretty much like that too. Our children go to private (big 3) and they just don't understand. Everyone has to do what is best for their family. We didn't care for the parochial system here and got lucky with private.

You are not a terrible person at all. Please don't think that you are doing what is best for your children with the resources you have available.[/quote]
