[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outsource cleaning and laundry at the minimum.

Everything else seems pretty typical working family household.

I have 3 kids and now stay home. I burned out but many others continue to chug along. I just dropped off my youngest at preschool and I get a 3 hr break.[/quote]

So did you move somewhere cheaper?  DH keeps talking about moving to an exurb, where he would have long commute but I would SAH. I’m skeptical b/c that’s a huge drop in college and retirement savings, and with his health I’m not convinced he is built to be a breadwinner. I have no desire to be sole breadwinner and him be SAHD, and he says he expects it would be very isolating anyways. [/quote]

No, DH earned more money and eventually we moved closer to his work so he could be home for dinner and sports more. I would not have stopped working if he could not cover college and retirement. Our kids do attend public schools in McLean.

It sounds like you outsource nothing. [/quote]
