[quote=Anonymous]My apologies for some of the nasty comments you've received.

I used to live in the DC area and know how expensive it can be. My advise to you would be to do the following:

1) Make a list of your priorities. What are the things that bring you the most happiness? How important is having a 2nd child?

2) Depending upon your answer to number 1 you may want to consider moving to a lower cost area. I did this and it changed my life. I blog about my experience leaving DC here:

3) Stop complaining. I know this is hard because sometimes it feels good to complain, but I promise it feels better to actually solve you problems, and complaining does not acheive this.

4) Start learning about ways to save money. I PROMISE there are many ways to save that you are currently not doing. You can refer to my blog for assistance with this. This will help you create room in the budget for going out if that's important to you.

5) Tell your husband you are sorry for nagging him and that you love him no matter how much he makes. Then keep a daily journal of small things you are thankful for. Your gratefulness will multiply and you will start to feel a lot better.

6) Stop comparing yourself to others. It doesn't matter what your friends have or are doing. What matters is your happiness.

Good luck :-) And hang in there, it's not as bad as you think.[/quote]
