Yes you seriously might want to consider public school.  Also do you have friends of varying incomes?  That can be helpful.  We are on the "poorer" side for DC - so I like to point out to my kid that some of her friends live in townhouses too - even though other friends live in big single family homes. [/quote]
We do have a few friends who live in town homes but most of then seem to want to do play dates at the park or meet somewhere else since their homes are smaller. Ds is having a really hard time with this friend who of course is his best friend. He will say why do we only have 2 cars "tommy" has 8 cars. The first time the boy came to our house he commented on how small it is. Our house is 8,000 square feet. I try to explain to ds most children don't live like " Tommy" but he is jealous. I'm hoping this phase passes soon. [/quote]

I am sure it's a phase, but also think of it as a teaching opportunity.  read him a story about third world village life (I am sure there are uplifting books out there about what life is like - doesn't have to be sad).  take him with and volunteer at a pantry or clothes closet.  [/quote]
