[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is going to a school that you might not think is impressive, but we had some choices that were free since my ex-husband is a professor.  The problem is that the random lady from band practice doesn't need to know this level of detail so instead she will likely just think my kid is dumber than hers.  I"m not ashamed of where my kid is going but I also don't feel like I owe you an explanation of how my family made the decision.  I find it odd that so many people ask the question.

Regarding the in-laws, extended family?  I like to just say "Oh, she's going to such and such so I guess you win!"  People who don't want to admit they're competing hate to be called out on it.  I used to love doing that to the sanctimommies as well.  "Oh, well then you win!  You're the best mom!"[/quote]

Well your situation is a little tricky because your ex-husband's profession has led to your daughter getting a great break on tuition which is wonderful.  It's a wonderful perk but, yeah, I can see how that might be awkward to discuss with just anyone.
