[quote=Anonymous]Literally no one with a household income of 750k should be coming to a message board and expecting empathy around work/life issues. No one. I'm sorry, but OP and her DH could be Barack and Michelle Obama and I would be like "STFU and figure it out -- you made your bed."

These are not real problems. "We can only send our kids to private school" is a fake problem, for instance. Hell, why did OP have multiple kids?! They could have had one or even two kids and then it would be possible to live in a more modest house and still afford private school and college savings AND have one or both of them take a slightly less insanely time consuming job. People criticize poor people all the time for having kids they "can't afford" but OP and her husband had kids they don't think they can afford on 750k. That's idiotic.

I refuse to sympathize for someone who could solve 100% of her problems tomorrow by simply compromising on one or two things. These people don't want to compromise on anything. They want the massive incomes, the big house, private school, the mess of kids, the vacations, the big titles, etc. And now she wants to complain it's too hard? Nope. Nope. Nope. You made your made.[/quote]
