[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP was asking for tips after a long week. If you don’t SAH you may not be the best person to give advice. [/quote]

Exactly!

OP, you're fine. These working Moms you're arguing with couldn't possibly have a clue how to relate. It's like when I tell DH I want to go back to work and he thinks I'm joking because SAHM life must just be the best, amirite? Or how my 3 yo started preschool last week and he asked me to run an extensive errand for him "while I'm off after I drop off DD", completely forgetting that we also have a 22 month old. "Off", indeed. Or like when he said I was "brave" for taking both sick kids to the grocery store for medicine and provisions because he's on the other side of the country Mon - Fri. Brave? I've been doing this exact thing for 4 years. [/quote]

I would give almost anything to stay home, and we could afford it if DH did a super commute from an exurb to his DC job, like all his colleagues

But he is super anxious about single income since his father got laid off and never worked again at 50; they had to live off family and his moms teaching salary in a high COL (so like they faked address to get to better schools, were on welfare a while, no A/C, etc) and doesn’t want to risk that with us.
