[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks folks for your replies.  I know my husband will support me sending kids to private school, [b]but know it will also be a financial strain and don't want us to feel resentment downstream[/b]..... I also feel guilty as I went to public school, myself, and feel guilty leaving the system for private...[/quote]

I'm a woman, and if I had to eat ramen because my stepchild is being sent to a private school, when there's a perfectly viable public school alternative, I would 100% resent this.  Maybe not in the beginning, but eventually.

I don't think this is ramen level. Maybe it's "pack lunch daily and only one vacation a year" level. Not that bad.[/quote]

Well that's for OP and spouse to determine, right?? ;)

To me - packing lunch daily is not a big deal, even though I don't do this. However, I have a high stress job, and having only one vacation a year would be a big deal.

I seem to remember OP saying that the tuition represented 1/3 to 1/2 of HER income alone.  That seems like a lot of money to me, unless she were only making $10K.  And if she means pre-tax income, that what she really wants is for her spouse to foot the majority or all of the household bills.

My guess is that they really can't afford private school.[/quote]
