[quote=Anonymous]My kids do the same when their routine gets messed up.  We have a three-day weekend and all of a sudden they're constantly asking when it's family day again.  And they love school.  I wouldn't put too much stock in it unless of course she tells you something is wrong.  Keep asking, and come up with different ways to ask.  However, I personally would never bring up the cost of the school to her.  Our kids are in private because we want them there (and they're happy, they're not being forced to go to that school), and yes it's a drain financially, but I would never expect them to enjoy themselves just because it costs money.  Honestly, I don't even expect them to get good grades because it costs money.  I have the same expectations for them at school (work hard, be kind, etc.) that I would if their education were free.  I think you need to stop projecting some sort of requirement on your daughter just because her school is expensive.  That's going to lead to stress for her down the road that she doesn't need.  You made that choice, not her.[/quote]
