[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all.

I'm skeptical of our ability to qualify for FA based on HHI (about $240K). We're one of those DC types who feel squeezed despite a high income. A lot of it is being house poor, hence my comment about needing to sell the house to be able to afford it :-)

To the poster who said I told her she needed to join another team/do another sport, etc. As I said, I said something individual would work. What I told her is "you're not going to quit your team and spend all that time you would have been on the field in your room looking at screens. You have to do something that gets you exercise on multiple days in the week." That was the message, and I don't think it was the wrong one.

Am I completely wrong at our income to think FA is out of reach?[/quote]

I don't know about the FA.  But I was the one who mentioned that about the sports - I got the impression that you had been heavily involved in the travel team and that maybe she might be feeling a bit of pressure from you to get back on that horse so to speak.  It does sound as though you have a healthy perspective on it all and that you aren't pressuring her which is good...

Hey, even a jog around the block, a bike ride on a trail, a swim at the local rec center would keep her away from all that alone time in her room.  Family game night is also fun and so is family movie night. She'll figure things out.  She sounds like a really great kid, btw.[/quote]
