[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP that makes $250K together with DH.  First of all, I said upper middle class, not middle class.  Second, because I live in part of DC I do, it's very close to work so minimal commute but the house is expensive and the school is not good.  Moreover, my kids aren't old enough for free public education yet anyway so I have to pay for private preschool.  That's part-time so I need a nanny for the rest of the day.  It's called childcare and it's a necessity so you other moms and dads out there - why judge?  How is that a luxury?  I guess I could have said daycare + a babysitter for childcare and you wouldn't have judged as harshly.  But it all costs $$ whatever you call it.  I pay my taxes, donate a good portion of our net income to charity and our church.  $250K is not poor by any means but it's not rich either. [/quote]

YES IT IS! A lot of folks don't have the option to pay a nanny! They cobble together whatever childcare they can get! What don't you get! 
You earn more than most people in this country! 
It is an objective standard -- not based on the lifestyle you feel you would have if you were truly "rich" 
Geez -- people on this board are really in denial![/quote]
