And it’s frustrating and it’s tiring and all those things but your sense of, like, living life becomes so much bigger.

• Sending our kids in my family to private school was a big, big, big deal. And it was a giant family discussion. But it was a circular conversation, really, because ultimately we don't have a choice.

It's unfair.
