[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Halfway through our second year, and so far, we've been completely comfortable with it -- but then our kid is in lower school, and I imagine it might get worse later. For now, we're perfectly happy being the Toyota in a sea of BMWs. But if I ever get the sense that he's starting to think we're "poor" then I will beat him like a French omelet. Just kidding. [b]But I will have a long, vigorous talk to him about how lucky we are and what actual poverty is[/b].[/quote] Ayah, I tried that. DC still does not "get it" Thinks that $300 is pocket change and a Range Rover is an average car. Its what you see around you. I do get very tired of saying "we cant afford that!" when of course we could if we went to public. It is a sacrifice, but my DC needs it. No reason to explain why.[/quote]
