[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"These things will happen wherever your kid goes to school to a degree." I see some of these same things in public school in Fairfax. I have been to houses in our school boundary with 3-4 air conditioners outside and we have a townhouse. My kids will make a comment periodically about how big someone's house it, but my response typically ends with something like, "[b]think of how much more cleaning I would make you do![/b]". It is an opportunity to discuss spending and budgeting, decision making, etc. [/quote] I love your response and say similar things to my DC. This has been our experience in our Fairfax public as well. Lots of families with money, several cars, big homes - second, third homes, etc., amazing vacations, etc. It was just not a big deal when we switched to Private for HS. More of the same. Life will hand my kids many opportunities to feel inferior. It's all how we as parents handle it and model behavior. [/quote]
