How can I learn to be happy with what I have? 3 years ago I talked my husband into moving into this house we are at now, at the time it was my “dream home” a home that I thought Id never be able to live in at the time, Now my first kid is school aged and Im now realizing the downside of the home I picked, the school is no where near as good as the county we used to live in before we bought this house, and that school wont let you attend unless you live in that county unfortunately even thiugh its just a 15 min drive down the road. Iv explored my options, home schooling just doesnt seem right for me, im really not patient enough & I doubt i could even understand things enough to teach & explain once they got older. We looked at private schools & they are really just too expensive, we do eventually want another child and paying to put 3 kids through pribate school would be just as much as another house… Iv looked at homes for sale in the area I want my kids to go to school in & there is only 1 house i found that I liked and it is literally a DREAM!!! Its double the price of what we payed for this house we live in now. I havent shown my husband this house bc hes told me multiple times he doesnt ever want to move again & I know he wouldnt go for that expensive of a house. Dont get me wrong, I still love the house we live in, I just wish there were more options for us, with affordable private schools or better school options, the schools are in a rough part of the town and I just am not comfortable sending my kids there. Also after seeing that house & how perfect it is just has my heart set on it… i know my husband has gotten 2 increased raises since we bought this house & I dont think it’s something we couldnt get, it may just make our money more tight and more struggles, im not sure, I dont really handle the finances that way as much as he does, Im a stay at home mom, so he would need to be the one who talked to realtor & all of that to get approved etc. Im sorry for this very long rant, I just needed to vent… Why cant I just be happy with what I have after seeing that perfect home? What do you think would be the best option for my kids education? My husband says home school but seriously I know nothing about that and I have doubts I could do it.
