[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone care to be more specific? We live in a townhouse and drive modest cars...but our kids have iPhones, Uggs, North Face jackets, club/travel sports, vacations, and will likely get used cars when they turn 16.

I'm wondering what specific things make older kids feel the sting. [/quote]

Hohoho! That is just barely making it at a private. Try million + homes, 75+ cars, 2nd homes in the tropics, of course vaca in the islands, skiing every weekend. Excell in sport of choice, CC, and what is the problem with private lesson every afternoon in their sport? private is a competative world.[/quote]People who have that much are a handful in the private school greater scheme of things.  There are a couple of parents who drive his/her Bentleys at my school but, as I said, we're talking about a handful that do.  Of course, there're the Benz, Cadillac SUV, etc., but if I had the bucks, I'd drive one too.  However, I am not pulling out what's left of my hair because I don't have one and not playing the whoa is me card.  But are you being facetious?  :) [/quote]

Woe is me, LOL! Whoa is me is what you say to a horse. At my private about 50% at that level.[/quote]
