[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the fact that you are asking the question and struggling  with the cost of private means you have answered your own question.  You can't afford private school.  There is nothing wrong with this, it is just a financial reality.  Sometimes, in this area, private school looks "do-able" for ordinary families simply because other ordinary families are able to swing it.   Well, there are plenty of families that are jeopardizing their financial future in order to pay for this luxury now. Yes, I call it a luxury on purpose.  It is a luxury.  There are some of the best public schools in the country around here.  You don't need to go broke paying for private in order to do right by your kids.

If all private school is the lifestyle you wanted, you should have thought long and hard before having a 3rd child. It sounds like you should have stopped at 2. I always wonder why families get into these situations where they think they can have it all? Life is about working hard, making trade offs, compromise and doing the best you can with what you've got. Your family needs to be in public school.

I also find it telling that OP has not been back to admit where she lives. I bet OP can send her children to a good public school, she just doesn't want to. [/quote]
