Also, in rich countries, people have much higher standards for raising kids.
In 2023 I know a lot of bougie American parents who cannot fathom making siblings share a room. 40 years ago, bunk beds were normal. 100 years ago, all the kids would probably be in one room, possibly with their parents, grandparents, etc and that type of living is still endemic in poorer nations. But how many people can afford an American house with another additional room?
- RajT88 4y agoI know plenty of parents for whom private school is a must-have. Even if they themselves went to public school.
- bluecalm 4y agoNo surprise there. Public school experience varies from traumatic to just a gigantic waste of time during the best development years. Once you go through that you don't want your children to have the same experience.
- RajT88 4y agoIt was as fine for me as it was for other successful people I know. I do not see how our experience justifies tens of thousands of dollars per year. Other than a general commitment to providing "the best" to their kids.
