[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God, PP - you know, I was not blase, so fuck you.  I simply outlined what I would have HAD to do.  B/C I am not so hoity-toity that I can afford to live in the neighborhoods with the best schools and I will not rent a place the size of a shoebox to be zoned there.  My DH and I would have faced tough choices - stay where we are and forego or delay a second child, move and deal with a shitty commute to work in the city, or move out of the area altogether.  Look - I GET THE FRUSTRATION.  But I don't really get the point of this thread.  We all know there are not enough good schools.  Was this somehow NEWS for OP and others like you?  [/quote]

As you can see from the post right before your totally rude "F-U" post, I get it now, I read your post and I understand now that you weren't blase.

You know, it's the internet, an anonymous message board.  Sometimes it's not obvious from someone's post where they're coming from, but you should really drink some tea or take a walk if you are going to get that hot and cursing because people can't tell from your tone that this isn't an easy choice for you.  Because, remember, this is DCUM: this IS an easy choice for many here, and there are examples daily on this and other DCUM forums where people take these choices for granted.  I went to one lottery and heard a woman say of her older kids (so she's not paying just daycare costs) oh well, I guess I'll keep them in private then.  I had hoped for this because it would be great to free up these funds, but their current school is great so we'll just stay there."

Chill out.  We get where you're coming from now.  No need to flip us all off.[/quote]

10:55, my post wasn't directed toward you.  It was in response to 10:33, you just beat me to posting.  So YOU chill out.  I was addressing all of the jerks that came before you to pile on.  I'm not trying to free up funds to take fancier vacations, and I doubt most others are either.  To assume that is just asinine.[/quote]

Um, since I'm the only one who used the word "blase" in a post, how were you not talking to me?  And I'm going to leave it alone after this, but seriously, you aren't even reading clearly now.  I just said that I get that YOU aren't freeing up funds for vacations, my point (which I couldn't have said anymore clearly) is that there are MANY here who ARE just as easily going private or doing charters, it's clear from the posts here and on other forums.  [b]NO ONE IS ASSUMING YOU HAVE TONS OF FUNDS PP.[/b]

But from experience, your way over the top defensiveness is much bigger than this thread, so I'll just leave it at that.[/quote]

Oh but they did.  Yes, they did.  And that is my problem.  It is rude beyond belief.[/quote]

Possibly they assumed you had money because you said you'd "simply" keep your kid in daycare and then send them to Catholic school. For my family, that choice wouldn't have been simple. Anyway, you're getting pretty bent out of shape about something a random anonymous person said about you on a message board. For someone whose original message was along the lines of "lighten up", you seem kind of tightly wound.[/quote]
