[quote=Anonymous]I’m a sahm in Bethesda. Many women who grew up here have grandparents paying for all school tuitions and camps. Grandparents funded CC memberships too. They also take fully-funded family vacations. College and weddings were paid in full and downpayment money is often provided too. It sounds wonderful. And from the grandparents perspective, they’re subsidizing the cost of living to keep all their kids in a very expensive area. Otherwise, they’d be moving out to Frederick... or husbands would be tempted to take jobs in other cities. As a transplant on a budget it can be hard to connect sometimes but I’ve found most appreciate my honesty. “That looks like an amazing opportunity, Jill! Thanks for sharing with me. We can’t afford to pay $10k for camp though.” [/quote]
