[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok I get it, I am terrible! I already know that. Jeez!

She cried for a bit, was upset.  She has stopped now and is talking to me.  We are quite close.  She knows I am always there for her.  I typically give her everything she needs and wants.  She knows this!

Yes,  I owe her big time.  I am sure there is something I can give her to compensate as a couple posters mentioned, she is 12 years old after all.

I haven't formally declined the offer yet.  We can do it, just money will be tight for us.  I haven't dismissed the idea completely.  [/quote]

OP, you need to figure out a way to send her.  You said you have lots of equity and lots of stocks.  You also said it would be tight but you could do it.  So, you CAN do it, you are just risk adverse and are worried something will go wrong financially.  Well, that is why you have stocks and savings.  IF someone goes wrong, you can sell stock or dip into savings.  You have years to rebuild any finanl losses.  Your daughters doesn not hav years to wait to go to private school.  Also, call the school and see if they can help you somehow.  in other words, TRY!

Not only are you be trying your daughter by saying " oh never mind" you are also teaching her that it's okay to just give up on something important.  She put all the time and energy into getting into this school, you now need to put time and energy into figuring out how to make it happen for her.  [/quote]
