Re: Paying for Private School

More | Report Post

Thanks for all of these great posts. I am still married to the
dad. We just cannot afford private school at the moment. I don't
mean to sound like a spoiled brat but my mother in law helps her
other kids out financially. She bought her daughter a house and
takes other kids on paid for vacations. Get this, the other kids
backed out of the vacation last year and granny was stuck with a
hotel room. SHE DID NOT EVEN INVITE MY 2 CHILDREN TO GO! We went
out to eat once and I could not get shrimp (fast food restaurant)
(BECAUSE SHE DID NOT HAVE A COUPON)! She bought my son a 2nd hand
walker once and he fell through it because it broke the first day.
Thanks
