[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is his salary.  Saying middle class is silly.  You can make it work. [/quote]

68k. It is a very big struggle to exist on his salary alone and we live in a more affordable part of the DC area.  [/quote]

Got it. That sounds like it would take some planning but not undo-able. How old are your kids? [/quote]

OMG. You basically have no choice! I think you should just accept staying home for a few years as a necessity. Don’t try to do side projects, taking care of twins is already a full time job. Give yourself a few years time where you don’t even try to plan for work projects. Focus on your babies, research fun inexpensive family outings.

We have a little bit higher HHI than you but I found it pretty easy to live frugally with a baby — especially in Covid times. I have a 8 month old and an older child. I will say that all the baby classes are a complete waste of money. Probably until age 4/5 the classes are more for you than them. [/quote]
