[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a single mom by choice (DC created using a donor).  I attended an independent school growing up (not in DC but similar to NCS/Holton). I feel I got an excellent education. My child wont have siblings, and we are comfortable financially so can afford private.

My sister's kids attend the same school I did; she and I have talked about how it seems different than in the late 80s/90s. Overt displays of money seem to be more of a thing and, [b]while most of our former classmates have jobs/careers, that a lot of the mom's are often stay at home[/b].

This question is probably naive for this board but I am curious to know what people think. From a community standpoint, how would a family like DC and I fit in at area independent schools? [/quote]

I find it curious you don’t want to be judged for your life choices, but you are clearly judging others for choosing to be a stay at home parent. If it matters to you, most of the stay at home parents at our big3 had very successful (stressful?) careers before choosing to stay home with their kids (lots of lawyers, lobbyists, etc.). [/quote]

+1 Clearly, the judgy one doesn’t want to be judged. [/quote]
