After weeks of discussions and weighting pros/cons, the wife and I decided to pull our kids out of their local public school and put them through private education.
The choice hasn’t been easy as their current school is quite decent and the kids really like it. I never went to private school myself and I find uncomfortable the idea of looking at 98% of the population and say that their reality of sending their kids to public school isn’t good enough for our kids.
However, given that can afford private, the wife doesn’t want to take any chances and I get that 100%.
Given that they are 3 and 5 y/o, we are looking at 15/16 long years of private education school fees... I haven’t really calculated exactly what we will end up paying until they graduate from university, as it will probably be scary (I recon £500k+ by the time they graduate in today’s money), but what feels quite certain is that the wife will never accept to add another italian to the stables...
Given the time I spend researching cars and reading this forum... I feel it’s going to be quite a shock!
I feel a bit depressed tonight; even if giving my kids the best opportunities is what parenthood is all about.
