They must be on a visa. He must be on a work visa with his green card in progress (hence he cannot quit his job) and she must be on a dependent visa (hence she cannot work legally).

Or illegally as suggested some 10 pages back.

Nope, not me.

That title just begs questions and makes people go "off topic" immediately (clearly). My advice is to title your threads more succinctly and not to give out any details about your personal life if you don't want to discuss it with anonymous strangers.

Oh, you're new here, aren't you?

People love digging up OPs for details and call them trolls, liars and nuts if they don't share them.

Or calling them trolls liars and nuts when they do share

Ok, in 3 pages only a few posters really came with something helpful. I didn't say a word to the unhelpful posters until someone really crossed the line. I think 3 pages of non-sense grants one little vent. No?

Not when you're asking for help. No.

Are you reading? 4 pages and only 2 people came with helpful, practical advice.

BTW, I'm paying less per hour for school than we would pay for a mother's helper in our area. DH will be in school all day so I can't just leave the kids with him and go get a job, you know?

That's why I came here to ask for MONEY SAVING TIPS. That's all.

Then just ask for the damn tips. your post should have looked like this:

does anyone on here have any amazing tips they would like to share on how they save money? we are having some financial difficulty and will need to save more for the next {insert however long your hubbys unpaid vaca will be]


thats all. you did not need to go giving out personal info, you wouldnt have to worry about anyone knowing you or pretending they know you. just ask for what you wanted... dont make a fucking production out of how other ppl save money in this economy

typo: that should say "dont make a production out of HOW people save money"
