What are people thinking?!?

Well you know what they say about family. They are your harshest critics. They think they can do or say whatever. It goes on everywhere. The thing is you gotta give them a little rope but not enough to hang themselves on. Stop her and tell her. You don't have to be ugly but be firm. I have had to tell some members of my family that live here and other areas to mind their own.

hun everyone around us wants to give us their penny worth of advice. Some people should "mind their own business" but some people feel it is their business to know everything about everyone and their business. Now if you can Afford to send him to private school then okay, but if it means you are going to have to make sacrafices for him then you need to rethink. Let me suggest something You send your son to private school, its costing you a fortune. You can afford it if you and and your partner/husband earn a decent wage. Something happens and your income is drastically reduced. You can no longer afford the school fees. Your son is forced to go to the public school, and then feels really lost because he has been in a private school. If I where you I would check the finances, ask your son what he wants. Check out the public and the private school. Believe me not all private schools are what they seem. Your son might get a better well rounded education, be happy and contented in a public school, and you will not have to try and make sacrafices to pay for the private school, and all the costs that go with the private school. Also you would then have the money to get him a tutor, if he is falling behind in his lessons. Make two lists Public School on One Private School on the other Write down the good points of both, ask your partner to do the same. Ask your son. Visit both schools then.... Make the decision that is right for the family
