$525. For public school. $525!!!

It seems outrageous to me that it's that costly. I know it's high school. I know YSK is in special classes that fit better with their learning. But HALF A GRAND feels egregious.

Anyone want to take bets on whether ET will toss in some cash towards it, or even acknowledge that the fees exist? I mean, she likes to forward every other email about $$$ trips and fundraisers hosted by the school. Surely she'll want to contribute to their actual school fees...

I'm having an emotional day pregnancy-wise, so this is bothering me WAY more than it should. So I just want to get it out there.

YSK lives with DH and I full-time. ET is supposed to have YSK every other weekend plus half of breaks. So far this summer she took precisely zero weeks and is playing catch-up on weekends. No big deal, YSK prefers to spend as little time with her as possible.

Super early "announcement", but after nearly three years of fertility treatment and two rounds of IVF, I'm fracking thrilled that I can even get pregnant and something FINALLY worked!

First ultrasound is next week. Beta tests look good and my fertility doc seems happy. We have two more embryos on ice, too! I'm trying to just be happy and not let my anxiety take over (and yes, I have a therapist now who I'm going to be leaning on to help with this).

Blog hog today, and would love some advice from anyone who has been through this.

Bit of background: MIL suffered a traumatic brain injury 15+ years ago due to a work-related accident. Since then, DH says she hasn't been the same. Her personality shifted greatly and she has become a very self-centered, stubborn person who has problems connecting cause and effect. It makes her very gullible, but she has had enough cognition to not need a POA assigned to her.
