"I'm not asking you to buy anything..."

Yes you did...earlier you said "If you would like to send us enough money to pay our San Francisco mortgage, I am sure she would be happy to stay home."

Now I'm sure you were being facitious, but still, you indicated in that post that it was a monetary reason why your wife was working, not the personal value of starting your child on an early education. Politicket was responding to your monetary concern, which doesn't hold much water, because there are much less expensive places to live and if your wife wanted to stay home with the kids, you could find them.

Now let me say, I'm not critisizing you for whatever choice you've made. I am just pointing out you changed your story, when you attacked Politicket for "telling you how to raise your children."

You are correct, I was being flippant with the mortgage payment remark. My wife works because she wants to, we probably could and have lived on one salary for a period but we would prefer to have our children in school at a very young age (my wife is a third generation teacher and feels if they can walk and talk they can be in school). I do not want people to think we are abandoning our children to school just so we can enjoy a nice lifestyle. We feel we can teach them morals and ethics at home. But we also feel having them start their education as early as possible is very important. Again, we are doing what we feel is best for our children.
