[quote=Anonymous]Also, "enroll your child in specialized summer camps while only having one car for two working parents" is not realistic advice for middle class people either! We have so far gotten away with only one car because my spouse works a mile from home, but it is starting to get limiting in terms of what the kids can do even in elementary. Can't take them to 4 PM robotics class half an hour away on a weekday. Can't sign up for a 9-4 educationally camp that's too far to bike, but not near enough to my work for me to do both drop off and pick up, so they go to camp at the rec center near home. I think we may need a second car when they're older to make sure they can pursue their interests beyond walking distance, and would be a bit horrified if people thought we were irresponsible parents because of that. Also, not everyone can save $1000/month per kid. Wow. Y'all are out of touch with what middle class means. [/quote]
