[quote=Anonymous]My sister was in a similar situation. Her wife is a social worker (makes about 68k) and my sister was not working because she was caring for our great aunt with dementia. She would get their one child off to school, go to my aunts and get her meals prepped, meds, change sheets, do appointments and then get her kid at school. I took the late shift and my mom did weekends. Everyone gave what they could and my sister went from being a temporary stay at home mom to a toddler and then a full time care taker of our elderly aunt. They tried a catholic school but they had a morality contract and we think their family structure affected their aid/was then nudging to not come. They only offered 3k off out of 14k. Then then applied to another private day school (not religious) and got 80 percent off (which left them paying 7k) which my husband and I just paid as it was the least we could do. So I do think situations like this exist. My sister in law is truly dedicated to her work and her role is almost vocational to her and she would never consider being a social worker anywhere else…but I doubt she would really pull in more anywhere anyway. And my sister eventually got a part time job at Costco when my aunt qualified for more VNS and the school kindly didn’t let that affect “their package.”[/quote]
