Hell no. You are too poor. You will seriously struggle. [/quote]

Typical DCUM brain rot. The median household income in DC is 101k. OPs 95k is within the average range. She's got more savings than the average person. You guys are really out of touch.[/quote]

But that typical HhI typically involved two working adults or one working adult and a SAHP. There is no backup in OPs system and not enough money to swing it all.[/quote]

Who do you think takes care of the child when both adults are working?[/quote]

There’s more to being a second parent than bringing in a paycheck. It’s backup health insurance; it’s flexibility if one person is sick or hospitalized; it’s one person grocery shopping while the other takes the kid to the doctor; it’s one person STILL HAVING A JOB if the other gets sick or fired, as a result of say, the time and energy required for parenting. OP probably has no idea how little sleep she will get for the first several years of a baby’s life and how hard it will be to also be the only income during that time. Doing this on her income is incredibly self-destructive for herself and a child.[/quote]
