[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why the previous poster is "puzzled" at how you got to this point.  I'm sure that many of us had kids five years ago and fully expected to realize sufficient income five years later to be able to swing that private K.  I'm sure that many of us did not expect the economic downturn or the long road to recovery, so, if the PP gave you any reason to doubt yourself, don't.  We are trying to figure out how to swing our second in private school, and we are starting two years in advance to figure out where to cut so that we can afford both of them long term.  It is going to be tight.  We know that if we have a third that the third would go to public school for the early years (we live in a great school district), and that's just the way it would have to be.  We have quite a few friends who send 1 or 2 of their three children to private school -- I think it's more common than you think. I also know people who pulled their older two out of private school when the third one went to school.  There are lots of options.  I don't know that I'd move; that seems really disruptive, but do the best that you can and take it year by year.  [/quote]
