Some schools don't start until after Labor Day. Just sayin'.Yeah, that's where I am with this. Nobody who actually felt this way would be posting all of this pity-me-please stuff. Someone is bored.

Okay so where’s your daughter seeing multiple Disney tv commercials?
I’m the oldest of four. My family could afford to go on vacation, and we did go to Disney once, but it was mostly a two week trip to our favourite campground. Some of my best memories are from those summers.
Back on point, as the oldest of four it was not uncommon for one of us to get things from a friend that the others didn’t get. We were jealous for a minute or two and then we moved on to fighting over who got to use the computer next lol
So, because your daughter had one jerk of a friend (BTW, not a real friend in my books) who didn't like her house, you're figuring all your kid's friends are looking down on you and your family?I've said before that I don't like to have my kids' friends over due to past issues with one of my kid's friends. Tent camping in the backyard wouldn't equal their offered gift of a Disney trip.
How about empathizing with the one kid?I know that my kids might get over if allowed my son to go. I would still feel guilty because I couldn't and can't take all three on that kind of vacation. I would be sad for my other two to not have that opportunity. It's about empathizing with my kids.

Doubtful. OP is in New Hampshire; wasn't that other poster in New York? Or course, other than saying that on the first page, and the screen name, well, he has ignored any mention of question regarding location...If this is who I think it is, she needs to take a break and go listen to her backstreet boy cds.

The posting style is almost identical.
Wasn't it upstate NY, so in the vicinity? But that was a bogus location anyway. I mentioned a few sites in NH too and no response.

What convinced me is the 3 children, an older girl, a middle boy and a third where the gender is rarely mentioned.The posting style is almost identical.
Also. in NH most public libraries have passes you can check out that provide entry or an entire family to places like the Planetarium, or various museums, etc. A great, totally free resource (at least this was the case a decade ago, I imagine it is likely still the case).Doubtful.

Rats. You just reminded me, my brother got to take both and I only got to take the SATs. Now I feel deprived.I had never even heard of the ACTs until I moved out west. I know things have changed and the ACT is a little more popular,
https://money.howstuffworks.com/personal-finance/college-planning/financial-aid/scholarship.htm Scholarship money can come from any number of sources. There are scholarshipsprovided by governments, corporations, universities or any organization with a little goodwill and some money to burn. Many famous scholarships come from stipulations in the wills of philanthropists.OP - you pay taxes, right? Thats where financial aid for college and whatever aid you needed when your wife was sick comes from.
Goodness, yes! Hampton Beach, Kittery/Ogunquit, really anywhere on the Maine coast.Go to Boston for a week, or NYC, or a beach town.
My library offers a bunch of free courses, including 3D printing.Also. in NH most public libraries have passes you can check out that provide entry or an entire family to places like the Planetarium, or various museums, etc. A great, totally free resource (at least this was the case a decade ago, I imagine it is likely still the case).
ETA: I just looked it up. The NH library I used to wórk at still offers free passes to:
Currier Museum of Art
McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center
Museum of New Hampshire History
Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum
SEE Science Center
Squam Lakes Science Center
Libraries are such a great resource for inexpensive/free fun.
after 16 pages of back and forth, there comes a time when straight talking and bluntness is called for
@Dadof3inNH you sound EXACTLY like a toxic friend I used to have, everything was an issue, excuses left right and center, projecting your insecurities and low self esteem on to every thing and everyone.
YOU are the one with issues, YOU sound in deep deep depression. Everything you have posted sounds to me like someone who is bi polar, deep deep lows and I bet you get crazy highs, when you are soo much fun, and everything is sunny and roses and rainbows and unicorns.
You need help, you need to get on drugs to sort out your depression, you need therapy. BUT until YOU come to this realisation, nothing will change.
Your teen daughter wants out so bad she wants to join the military. That says that the home life you are providing is not giving her the emotional support she needs
Now you are depriving your son of a trip to Disney and a chance to experience happiness and joy and a break from the oppressive doom and gloom which surrounds you.
Unlike others who have so generously shared their own hardships as a way of being nice, Im not, cos its obvious you dont care about anyone except yourself.
I hope you dont end up like one of my neighbours, the local drunk, disowned by her grown up children, who just leaves the house to go to the liquor store
