How did your household income/potential income influence the number of children in your family? Did you and dh stop at a certain number of kids because you wanted to be able to provide certain things for each child?

"A group of you? What, was there some midnight conclave where you decided who would ask the questions?"

Why would it have to be a midnight conclave? We chat with each other during the day.

"I know the kind of school, if not the exact school that PA sends her kids to. And the schools do not turn away "low-income minorities." It might even be the case the the school she sends her kids to has more "low-income minorities" than her local public school."

When did you graduate from the school?

"I don't know how long you've been lurking here before you joined, but you are relatively new to this conversation as an active participant. What an awful thing to impute to someone you hardly even know!"

YMMV

I agree, I trust my friends when they say something costs $, I don't feel the need to look it up on a webpage to know that they are speaking the truth.


I'm good with it.

You stated you paid 100 for each girl, did you not?

We're like that on any number of activities...the kids have tried this and that, enjoyed it, and moved on. Some I have been sorry to see go, and some, honestly, I could not wait for them to drop!

She took a website that she knew the prices would be so high because it is in NYC. She is not familiar with this place as neither am I.

I'm sorry..this just seems awfully personal and mean spirited to me. And to accuse PKA of racism (which let's be frank is what's happening) and then deny to identify her accusors sounds like something out of the House Unamerican activities committee days.

 

Yes. We. Did.

Then you should be confident enough to back it up. I wouldn't appreciate you if you spoke about me on a message board.
