[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry, OP, but I would think our lives are too different that we would not find that much in common to connect over.

For example, the explanation: "different areas for the different kids " jumps out at me because I purposefully have two kids sharing a small room in a bunkbed because I think it's great to share a bedroom with a sibling because it helps foster flexibility, a close relationship, etc.  To purposefully design large spaces for each child goes against what is important to me.

Furthermore, the fact that you have your children in public school also jumps out at me, because just about the only thing I will spend "extra" $$ on is:  education.  I have both my kids in private schools and we scrimp and save to do so.  Education is our highest priority so spending $$ on a large house and yet going with tax-subsidized "free" education seems like an anomaly to ME.

I am not sure why you would think we don’t prioritize education. Our kids attend top public schools. We absolutely value education over anything else. DH and I come from humble beginnings and worked hard in school. [/quote]
