[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP! I was in your shoes a few years ago..Our second DC was born special needs and we unexpectantly had to drop to a single income. Dh at the time made 110k and we had 2 kids under 5. Our mortgage was 2100 and it was VERY tough. We cut groceries to 110 a week (still spend about that actually, once you get use to very little meat its not very hard), no activities outside of preschool and therapies, no new clothes, no pool pass, etc. The sacrifices sucked but it had to be done so we did it. If I had to do it over again I would of moved before I stopped working. Think really carefully about this decision and if you have to do it then by all means please do but realize its tough at our income level. My DC's are both in school now and I have gone back to work 3 days a week and DH is earning more and we are just not 5 years later feeling like we can breath. [/quote]
