- New York City This post has been disliked 3 times. Hhi 625k - if we want to send 2 DCs to private, will it be too much of a stretch? Will we qualify for partial FA?
- Lol I’d hope not
- Private what

- You're a troll. Posting in NYC. Nice try.
- Wow. No need to be nasty. It was a honest question from a family trying to figure out the best for their kids
- lol

- THERE IS ONLY ONE BOARD AND IF YOU WERE NOT A TROLL, YOU'D KNOW THIS
- Too much of a stretch for you, bpp
- We are similar and have one in private. Would be getting uncomfortable with two but possible because we live pretty frugally otherwise
- omfg
- You'd be uncomfortable with $525k AFTER tuition (if tuition was 50/each)? You need help.
- A third is gone to taxes
- Living on 380k NET after private, after taxes....would be uncomfortable?
- Is it sort of that middle range where it’s too much to qualify for FA but not enough to send 2 DCs?
- Basically yes but you can see people are just going to pile on
- Because it's frankly ridiculous
- Basically yes but you can see people are just going to pile on
- A third is gone to taxes
- If it would be uncomfortable, you don't live that frugally.
- If you have to ask, then yes.
- Unless the grandparents pay or your HHI involves money laundering, you won't save any money.
- Not worth it.
- You're not going to make it work if you pull in so little

- New York City About to navigate SHSAT prep-- advice?
- Too early
- here I thought I was late to the party. Other parents have gotten tutors already for next year.
- OR: I'm of the camp "If you need that much prep, you shouldn't be in SHS"
- I like that!
- tell that to every asian kid who's been prepping for Stuy since 4th grade.
- Right. Because the white kids never do
- And we wonder why anxiety is such a problem!
- The immigrant kids need Stuy because their white counterparts are paying for private school.
- it is not just Asian students who prep for SHSAT
- NP: start with a diagnostic from a prep book to get an idea of where dc is now and especially whether there are any math topics dc doesn't know yet. but I wouldn't go hardcore...(more)

- honestly its a weird dumb test. the prep is mainly to help navigate it not so much for content. maybe start by getiting a prep book and then see what it looks like. Then find a...(more)
- Thanks
- PS...Stuy is hard to get into and is a pressure cooker, so your dc would have to REALLY want to be in that mix. Bk Teck: basically everyone we knew got into that one. More...(more)
- I like Brooklyn Tech. I agree about Stuy but my dc says he wants to go if he gets in. We will see. Like everyone else, I want him to be happy.
- Look into Bard. a lot of DD's friends went there

- we started tutoring DS february before the test.
- Make a real schedule for practice and go above and beyond. Get some private tutoring if there are weak spots that aren't clicking. But I think the real key is being diligent with...(more)
- Is it anything like the SSAT or ISEE?
- It is its own weird thing
- would a student studying for the SSAT have to do a lot of incremental prep if they wanted to take the SHSAT as well
- It is its own weird thing
- Too early
- New York City I miss UrbanBaby. The crowd here is so humorless and judgemental
- you're dumb
- And not nearly as witty
- I used to post funny links on ub, which were other ub posts I saved for their humor.
- Yes, I remember we did that
- i think less mega-rich topics, but it's the same. i think i read here with a different lens depending on my mood
- I'm sure we all do
- i think the IMCP/incel troll posts stand out more and are so damn annoying
- when I think of UB I definitely don't think "non-judgemental"
- this, lol
- But it was fun, like spicy bantering. Here, I feel like I'm being judged by school marms
- School marms? Like Grandmommies?
- np: but i think about this irl, too, the cancel/super judgy if someone doesn't think the SAME EXACT thing as you is so prevalent these days
- np: this is literally the exact opposite of how I remember UB
- People here are downright MEAN!
- So sorry we are not entertaining you while democracy fails and the world gets flooded
- Lol? Do you remember the endless stroller wars?
- ^and WHY WE ALL LEFT?
- ^and who the hell posts in NEW YORK CITY? There is only ONE board here.
- ^ok, two (SN). We even got rid of Cleveland!
- ita, and let SN stay a safe place ... np here
- Oh yes--that's a pretty unspoken rule, which everyone follows. We have limits!

- me too UB was so helpful - this board if full of trolls
- You're funny
- There were one or two women on UB who bullied me very badly when I was really struggling.
- I, too, was bullied when trying to decide whether to pierce my baby's ears.
- It was for serious problems which I'm not interested in sharing with you.
- that is a serious issue.

- UB was certainly judgmental, but if I recall correctly, there were a wider range of topics and certainly posters I could relate to most of the time. It's not to say there aren't...(more)
- What is it that you don't relate to here?
- I'm trying to think of topics outside of Florida, Covid, IMCP or trans poster, and I'm having a hard time thinking of any. Will post back when I do.
- That's just 2022. People are pissed off... with good reason
- If I say anything even so remotely unagreeable, I get disliked and my post disappears. This cancel culture sucks the fun out of anything
- Unagreeable or like racist?
- No, like saying I don't like Kate Middleton and getting shot down, how dare I say that

- Did UrbanBaby die?
- Yes RIP
- Shut down two summers ago.
- They're both humorless and judgmental in different ways. UrbanBaby is Charlotte and YBM is Miranda. (They both want to believe that they're Samantha.)
- wtf no. TITBC
- There were some really kind, funny, smart people there, some horrific, mean, psychos. Exactly the same as here. Been around since 2002 and it's barely any different.
- ITA. These bitches are family now.
- It's literally the same people
- That's what she said.
- np- I just don't believe that. ybm is now 13 years old (IIRC). It would be naive to think that there hasn't been a huge influx of new people in t. Sure there are still a lot of...(more)
- It's pretty much the same people, imo. I've been here since the migration. We are mostly going through peri.
- OR: I didn't say it was all the same people (tho' obviously some of us are). But the overall tone/mix: some nice, some assholes. No real difference IMO.
- It's pretty much the same people, imo. I've been here since the migration. We are mostly going through peri.
- I agree. This group is not the most sophisticated.
- Speak for yourself. I'm a renowned expert. And beauty.

- I miss all the "I'm *** mom, any questions?" and we would know exactly which moms these were
- I miss it so much. This place is really not the same crowd.
- Tina Fey hung out on UB. It was that fun.
- New York City This post has been disliked 3 times. My net worth is about 3 million. I'm 50. An I set for retirement?
- this fucking place
- There's someone trolling about retirement here every damn day
- Surely if you're really not sure, you have a financial professional who can review your specific expectations. FFS...
- mine is about 400k equity in my house. Im 45. How do you think I'm doing?
- np not bad if you're willing to sell and downsize. But you should start saving, too
- I think the smart thing to do would be to stay there. Or use the equity to buy a little duplex or something. Growing wealth once you have a little is easy.'
- np not bad if you're willing to sell and downsize. But you should start saving, too
- You're halfway there
- Who gives a shit. Pay somebody to advise you
- You wouldnt be if you were me. We spend like $350,000 a year
- Are you retiring now?

- New York City Looks like on average about 8% of nyc public school students/staff are out w covid in the last week
- not surprising
- The regular attendance rate in NYC DOE schools is around 91%.
- How is this related? Covid infection is around 8%
- I'm saying it's not that significant an increase, especially since there will be some overlap.
- I'm talking about covid only, not general illness absence that I think you are talking about. 8-12% covid infection in public school is astounding.
- Also attendance on 1/10 was 75%
- I'm saying it's not that significant an increase, especially since there will be some overlap.

- New York City I just don't understand the obsession with British royalty. Who cares about new portraits.
- I care in the same way I care about any celebrity item
- But you don’t have to OP
- I don't. I'm just saying I don't understand why people are obsessed. Its all over the internet
- Then it sounds like a you problem
- I guess. Its just something like cronuts I guess. I don't understand the appeal
- Then it sounds like a you problem
- I don't. I'm just saying I don't understand why people are obsessed. Its all over the internet
- for me, this is "less than zero"
- I support your decision.
- Precisely. They are not celebrity. They are functionaries of a nation
- But you don’t have to OP
- I don't get the fascination with the BRF in particular. Neither one is good looking, they're all damaged one way or another, some are lazy AF, all of them are grifters. Yet there...(more)

- Where can I find this?
- no b/c they are not testing enough to get reasonable numbers given the levels of infection. best you can do is get anecdotal info from your dc and others about how many people...(more)
- Yes but families report cases. Its not related to testing at school
- real number no
- My ds had it over the break. I didn’t report it to the school.
- Right, I'm just wondering how many kids are absent from school. Not over break.
- Yes. There’s a “school report”
- New York City Where and how do we get the free covid home kits starting this Sat?
- They are not free, you pay and then submit for reimbursement by your insurance company.
- From anywhere? Any price?
- np there is more to it. some insurances will have preferred pharmacies where you can get it for no out of pocket costs
- Right, but how do you get this info? Which pharmacy?
- oh I have no idea!
- you have to check with your insurance company.
- I did, they have no clue!

- YES

- Sorry..this morning (2 weeks later), I’m bleeding again....(more)
- Even my post menopausal bleeding was not cancer. Get checked but don’t stress.
- or hypochondria
- too many women dont get checked out for anything during 45-60 because "that's just menopause" but if you think something is up and you have insurance, GO
- I am, I’m just looking for reassurance from anyone who’s btdt.
- Op: my phone keeps sending posts too early, sorry....(more)
- NP I had ovarian cancer with bleeding. So can't tell you for sure it's no big deal, but it likely is
- Op: I’m sorry to hear that and hope you made a full recovery....(more)
- I made a total recovery but it was caught early so I know I got lucky. Get it checked out, it's likely nothing but you'll be able to stop thinking about it

- New York City Ugh dc has covid. They should have started boosters way before school started
- This post has been disliked 3 times. They don’t make a difference
- I would think boosters would make you a little bit more protected
- um, they protect you from death
- Likelihood of a young healthy person dying of covid? Basically 0
- Why the dislike? That's a good thing !
- Likelihood of a young healthy person dying of covid? Basically 0
- um, they protect you from death
- they make a difference, ess vchance of infection, less contagiousness and less severity but thats's all
- um, that's a lot.
- aka they are incredible
- um, that's a lot.

- Be there for your mom.
- Yes but how. She asked me if I would speak at his funeral. She seems in denial about what a jerk he was.
- Tell her you’re not comfortable speaking but you will be there to support her
- Yes but how. She asked me if I would speak at his funeral. She seems in denial about what a jerk he was.

- Well no I can’t tell her I’m going to miss him.
- You don’t have to.
- She wants someone to grieve with. To talk about the great memories. That’s not something I can do.
- I had a substance abusing father. My sister tried to do that with me at his death. Pull out photo albums and point to things. I just walked into the other room. He was a...(more)
- You can listen. Listen to hear speak of her life with him. You don’t have to say anything that isn’t true
- Do what you can and then set a boundary and be done.
- She wants someone to grieve with. To talk about the great memories. That’s not something I can do.
- You don’t have to.
- Well no I can’t tell her I’m going to miss him.
- I would keep it as support over the telephone
- Support her in her grief but you do not have to speak.
- You can stay true to yourself and support your mom (not him).
- Abusive relationships often come to a head at these moments. Be true to yourself.
- Speak on the phone. Minimize time at wake/funeral. Connect with your mom on the other side and be honest about your feelings and what this man did to you.
- Help make plans, support her, but that’s it. You definitely don’t have to speak positively about him. You can just listen
- Be there for your mom.

- better to burn out than to fade away
- I know all the articles said they were having problems, but I think they would have made it as a couple. They seemed to share a fierce love for each other.
- I disagree. I think they would have divorced.
- it would have depended on if she could get a handle on the drug use. John hated it.
- I don’t think she would have. Failed rehab and divorce was more likely.
- Fierce love = codependancy
- i was in my early 20s and recently moved to NYC when they were the most amazing couple we all wanted to be
- She was my age! For some reason I thought she was older. Such a sad thing.
