Stopping at one child so they can go to private school? Wwyd?

[fairybeagle]

If you had the choice would you choose to put your child through a private education or give them a sibling.
I wonder which is more beneficial..?

Interested to hear peoples opinions.

Thank you for your comment @Pink993 and thank you for sharing. All these experiences and advice (bar 'oh we hate private school') are really helping me sort it out in my head.
I'm really sorry you went through such a horrible time with your siblings, that must have been very hard.
Building our own little families is the only thing we can do

@fairybeagle I found this thread after I googled the exact same thing.

I knew you’d get a lot of hate on this post. I was lucky enough to have a private education from 3-16 and wouldn’t change it for the world. In year 7 I moved to a state school, was bullied horrendously and moved back to the private school in year 8.

My parents wouldn’t have afforded my education and I was lucky to have an uncle who paid for all my primary school fees.

Without that education I wouldn’t be where I am today. In a very good job with a very good salary at a young age.

I am now 29 and pregnant with a little boy. My partner is all for a private education despite not having one. As much as I would have liked a sibling, as an only child I have made so many close friendships that I almost chose my siblings for myself. Many of my friends have awful relationships with their siblings.

We have decided that if we want two, they will go to a state primary and a private secondary. If we choose to have only one we will send them private for the duration.

It’s a tough call to make x
