[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]P.S. I have friends who have invited me to their kids' functions at Beauvoir/National Cathedral School, and school events are held....in the cathedral. I mean, that is not a remotely normal American experience. When I was growing up, school events were held in the auditorium that doubled as a gymnasium where we had gym class. And it was perfectly fine.
 
Look if you are not comfortable with how much money Americans spend on stuff, then why send your kids to a school where they will be hanging around with families that have HUGE amounts of extra income and spend lavishly and think that is normal?[/quote]

OP here. I am not uncomfortable. I just don’t know how to spend like they do (thankfully) so I am able to afford things that people at my HHI would not be able to afford. For example, my nanny has a MUCH better and newer car than we do. She has 2-3 TVs (we only have one and we don’t have cable tv). She eats out quite often (we eat out maybe once a month). And my nanny sends her kids to our not good public highschool option (Columbia Heights educational campus) and has no money for vacations. We just come from a different place where people that made the same amount of money we made would be rich, but still would not spend as much as a much poorer average American. But I do not feel uncomfortable at all... I really do not care to be honest and don’t really think much of it. Maybe I am glad we are different, but do not judge either way. [/quote]
