[quote=Anonymous]I would really like to know where OP lives. Being from NYC and now living in DC, I feel like 15,000 square feet is basically an entire apartment building? I actually just can't imagine wanting or needing that much space, so for me it seems like you'd buy the house only to show off how rich you were. (And I went to school on the UES of Manhattan, so I've done plenty of socializing w/ uber-rich people though my family was just comfortably UMC.) Do you live somewhere where other people live in 8,000 square foot homes? So, from my perspective, this should be more like a 4,000 square foot home (big, but not necessarily indicative of insanity)?

The public v private school thing is silly. It completely depends where she lives. If she lives somewhere like Scarsdale, NY, why wouldn't she send her kid to public school? The public schools are practically like private schools resources-wise and the private schools are largely dominated by SN kids or difficult kids who don't do well in normal school environments. Totally different if she lived somewhere like DC w/ mediocre public schools and great private ones.[/quote]
