[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear OP,
Please come back in March and update us on how things turned out![/quote]

I really doubt OP is coming back to this thread. I wouldn't.[/quote]

I would come back just to brag about the $$ I got![/quote]

I don’t understand why we are supposed to feel bad for someone that says:
“I don’t need to work, sorry you do” and then applies for financial aid.
“I would never stick my son in daycare”, but gladly takes the money of the families that do.

Her sense of entitlement is what I despise about people like OP. I do hope that people like her won’t be in my kids and mine circles

You have a huge sense of entitlement if you want kids from lower income families away from yours.  You should fire the housekeeper as she is not worthy to be near you.  These schools screaming equity and inclusion are a joke. [/quote]

Sorry OP, but your logic makes no sense. I have no problem with lower income families. My kids all play with my nanny’s kids and we think of them as family. I have issue with you and people like you who look down on people that actually work to be able to afford what they (and obviously you) value. But you are not willing to work. You are lazy. And yes, I wish my kids were not surrounded by lazy kids as well. I want my kids to learn that they need to work hard for what they want and not just expect it without doing anything.

Also, you are the one that wrote “I don’t need to work, sorry you do” so you clearly look down on people that need to work (to afford private school). And you also look down on people that use daycare because that is beneath you and your precious snowflake.
Don’t turn this conversation around… you don’t look very smart[/quote]

Life is about choices.  You can choose cheaper housing and a cheaper lifestyle.  We can afford private because of our life style choices NOT because of high income.

I didn't use day care as the cost of day care alone for one child was equal to my take home and it didn't make sense.  I would never see my child and wouldn't even be able to pick them up from day care, which was a huge issue (nor my spouse as he had an hour commute) on time given I never got out of work at 5PM like I was supposed to.

My child isn't lazy.  They are in multiple sports and music programs and straight A's and in advanced math classes so good try.  My kid probably works way harder than yours ever does.

And, saying your kids play with the nannies kid means nothing as they only play as the nanny probably charges you less so she can bring her child or because she cannot afford other child care because you pay her so little.  You would never be friends with your nanny outside of you employing her.  Your kids would never see the nannies kids if they weren't employed for you.  Be real.

And, you don't realize how privileged you are and how wealthy you are if you have a nanny and private school.  You have no concept of what its like to live on $80K or let alone $150K, like many of us do.

Sometimes with health issues, elderly care and child care, you cannot work or it doesn't pay to work depending on your income.  Many of us do very important jobs when we work but aren't high earners.  I feel bad for your kids teachers as they don't earn a lot so you look down on them and yet, you aren't demanding the school pay the staff more as that would mean raising tuition. [/quote]

Wait, so you are not going to ask for FA? Nobody has a problem with you then. Also, you are saying that you actually have a job (albeit one that pus “””””pays little). Again, you are not staying at home and expecting a handout. Good job on making it work on a lower income[/quote]
