[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went to private school but lived in a rundown dump of a house. Could never have friends over, spent all our time at other peoples houses. I would have preferred a comfortable family home. [/quote]

I disliked private school for the same reasons.  We didn't have anywhere near as much money as friend's classmates and it was obvious.  We didn't go on vacations. I didn't have super awesome clothes. I didn't get a car when I turned 16.  My parents didnt have nice cars.  We didn't have a very nice house.  I still remember a classmate talking about playing tennis w/Dan Quayle's son...that was so far from my reality that it really stuck out.  In high school, so much of your identity is being developed socially, I would have preferred an opportunity to blend in a bit more w/others who were like me.[/quote]

But did you notice that those kids who were given everything went on to excel at nothing?

And no matter how much money we have we're never buying our kid a car. Omg...[/quote]
