[quote=Anonymous]Whenever I read comments about what someone can afford and can't afford based on their salary in the context of paying for your children to go to private school I'm shocked at how many people have no concept of struggling to provide your kids with the best life possible. My dad worked for the sanitation department during the day and night, was our building maintenance man to get a discount on our apartment, collected aluminum cans to trade them in for money, refurbished furniture and did whatever ofd jobs he could find to pay his portion to send me and my sister to private school (we also got financial aid). This idea that you only send your kids to private school if there is no financial stress when doing so is mind blowing! What a bunch of weak sauce people! OP you want to send your DC to private while you stay home and your husband works for the government, then you apply for FA and find a hussle you can do from home and you work it! Will it be easy? I imagine not, but if it's that important to you then the sacrifice will be worth it!

My dad has ZERO regrets! I'm an Engineer (and now a top executive) with a top government contractor in DC and my sister is a Dentist. My dad worked his ass off to make sure we had the best education possible and as an 80 year old man he says he wouldn't have had it any other way. Oh, my mom was a SAHM as well. [/quote]
