[quote=Anonymous]Get a job now or as soon as you can, use the money to pay for second (used) car and daycare or a temporary nanny or daycare to get yourself used to the routine. Be ready to give up your free time on weekends or whenever your wife is available to help, to run errands like grocery shopping, kid's shoes, house cleaning etc. Finding a good job will be possibly harder than hiring a nanny or getting into a good school in the lottery. BTW you are going to have a hard time getting into the better DC PS-3 programs because there a lot of siblings and proximity preference for locals who live near the schools (like Capital Hill or Petworth.) Take some time NOW before you get that job to personally visit all the charter schools you plan to apply to. There is no guarantee you will get in to any of them but there is no limit on the number you can apply to, so you might as well apply to a lot. By visiting you will be better informed and not be in panic mode if you have to choose between two charters, or get off the waitlist for one while considering another. 
Next year you will be in a much better position financially and emotionally. Unless of course your wife gets a huge raise and you are able to stay home full time.  [/quote]
