[quote=Anonymous]OP I have participated in this thread and will let you in on what secret I have to pay for my kids private school.

I stay home with my kids like you do.
My husband works a reasonable job with steady hours and decent work/life balance.

However, unbeknownst to the littlest one and poorly understood by the older two, I work.
I creep out of the house every Fri and Saturday night and work a 12 hour shift at your local hospital.
I sometimes work overnight Sunday and just don't sleep until Monday night. 
But I'm there during the week for all the same reasons you are, and feel it's important to stay home with my kids, just like you do. 
I give up my sleep and circadian rhythm and my weekends with my husband and countless parties and concerts and beach trips to send my kids to private school.
So yes, it does rub me the wrong way when someone like you who is actively choosing not to work wants financial aid.
I'm more than happy to pay full freight to a family trying their best and sacrificing but falling short.
We donate heavily to our church for the same reason.
But you and Chicago "I can buy a million dollar house and have $350k saved up" begging for financial aid just rubs me the wrong way.
