I wonder sometimes if it's me or if the Haves and Have Not So Muchs are farther apart down here in the deep South. For the life of me, I can't figure out how the Haves do it. I'm yankee born, and I can say that class/race/social lines are much clearer in many areas than they are up north...but still, huge houses in gated communities w/all that football/cheerleading stuff the kids do and the private schools (god forbid public). I am honest to god mystified. Our daycare costs would be more than my teaching salary, so I'm home, but so are the Have Moms. You all have said it all, I just have to say thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy in this particular area.

Have you priced kids' toys this year? Have Mercy.
