BTW, if he is so concerned about being in a good school dist, why not offer YOU more money so that you can get the better apt for the kids? Food for thought.
Well, b/c I think it is a waste of money. We have a nice big house (2600 square feet) that we pay $800 a month mortgage. If I moved to an apt. in a good school district, it would be well over $1000 probably about $1200 to $1400 even for the cheapest one. And I have a cat and 75-pound dog which would be a problem. I figure with the extra money for the apt., tutoring and/or private schools if public school doesn't work out again, that it won't save us any money, could even be more expensive if we wind up having to do private schools. So what would be the point?
The kids and I both enjoy homeschooling, so H just wants to do that so he can live in a pricy apt. I believe, and he thinks it will be cheaper if I get a full-time job (at least for him b/c he won't have to pay much or any alimony) but they only pay about $20,000-25,000 for education in this area and the type of jobs I can get (and lots of competition for them, too), so I think that is one of those ideas of his that sounds good, but when you figure it out, wouldn't save any money and the kids would be stressed out and not getting the special ed they need. (When my son was attending school they basically had me homeschooling him in the nights/weekends b/c he wasn't learning at the school). Karen
