[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, to the 2002 poster, I dont think you meant to come off so obnoxious but come on. There are plenty of men not making $80K a year, and it isn't always possible to "just make more." This board is so snooty. Some blue collar workers don't make that. My DH, who's mid-career, certainly doesn't. Maybe he doesn't have a college degree. You never know.....Sheesh[/quote]

There are tons of ways to make more than $80K in the DMV.  If her husband wants two major luxuries (private school and a SAH wife) then he can start working for it.  Almost every blue collar job I know allows overtime.  My neighbor is a MCPD officer (DC cop) and he almost doubles his salary with overtime.  I'm a nurse and I can also make a ton of extra money if I chose to work overtime. Sure, I have to give up my free time on nights and weekends to do so but if I had a SAH spouse and wanted a luxury item like private school, you better believe I would be doing so.  Plus there are tens of thousands of people in the DMV who are hustling doing things like Uber, Door Dash, etc.  The vast majority of these people are doing this in addition to a regular job. 
OP just wants others to pay for her luxuries.  Hopefully the schools hold the hard line on this (and I have no doubt that they will). This type of diversity (the grifting kind) is not welcome in private schools. [/quote]

I think people are reacting to OP saying she doesn't need a job because "they live modestly" and "DH income is enough" but then she wants a luxury good that is beyond their means and wants someone else to subsidize her choice.[/quote]
