Twinkle, first I want to offer my condolences on your aunt's passing. I remember hearing you say often about what a lovely lady she was - I'm sure this was tough for your family and I hope everyone is doing OK.
My second condolences are related to the fact that your MIL is clearly bat$hit insane. I cannot imagine for one minute that any person would look at her fully responsible adult son and his wife and conclude that she should be named the educational guardian of their child(ren).
For heavens sake. What makes Wilder the be-all-end-all anyway? I have never heard that it is some marvel of educational glory. Your "resides" school is Hawthorne ... as it is for our house ... and it's a perfectly fine school. The rest of the cluster will also do fine at least for a year or two. The Advance Program is at Bloom ... I spent first grade at Klondike before getting moved on the AP track to Goldsmith, and it was not the death knell for my academic career as we can all see. And when you apply to Bloom or whatever AP school for future children, they will get sibling preference ... since you are not spacing them out and they will all be in school at the same time. Clever you!
Thank you for your sweet condolences on the death of my aunt. She was sweet and I'm glad we all got to say goodbye to her.
