Ok.  DH makes 90k.  We saved a lot before kids and bought a 1.8M house in a good school district.  Mortgage is under $300.  We rent out a room and that brings in 15K - that's my play money.  Kid's colleges are almost funded, but we're also saving for grad school.

I really wanted to quit but didn't think DH would be okay with it.  Turns out, he really wanted me to stay home as well.  [b]I worked the first year after our first child was born and our other children, so I spent more time with, are much smarter and less socially awkward.[/b]  I regret working when the first was a baby!

My kids can do so much with me that other kids miss out on.  So many nature activities, trips, and even just snuggles make a difference.  Playdates and preschool give them social interaction.

:shock:

No, if you formula fed the first one and breastfed the others, [i]that’s[/i] probably why the first one is dumb and socially awkward.

…oh wait, that’s also only true in crazy-person-land.

Lady, your first child is not less intelligent and less socially adept because you were working, unless you actually locked them in a box while you were gone. That assertion is nuts. You want to stay at home? Great, enjoy, go for it. But building an insane story to support your choice is not necessary or helpful, and certainly not helpful to your poor first child, who you’ve deemed inferior forevermore because - horrors! - they had a working mom for the first year of their life.

That poor first kid's only real problem is her totally nuts mom.[/quote]
