[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, your situation is hard . Some will say that at least you are not a single working mom making minimum wage  but the truth is that these are hard years, and you lack money, help, education to have a career and companionship.

I would never had kids if I was in your situation. I actually waited for 6 years after marriage because we were low income to have a child . Dug ourselves out of the whole and only then expanded our family.

You are a cautionary tale of why women should be educated. I love being a SAHM… but it has not come at the cost of being poor, unable to outsource, no retirement and college savings, no education,  no help from DH etc

So use your creativity to make friends. Publicize some free mommy and me classes you conduct in the park. Join some  mom groups or start one.

You are a horrid, bitter person[/quote]

OP here. I am not low-income. My husband has a great job. I also waited to have children until my husband finished his PhD. I am slowly finishing my bachelor's degree right now, and I have a scholarship. There are a lot of great things going on in my life. This period is challenging, though. Just today, someone told me my son needs to get evaluated by a psychologist. My school has an IEP. I am trying my best. [/quote]

NP. I also assumed you were low income, since you live in a suburban condo and only have one car. If your husband has a good job, why can’t you get another car and ideally move to somewhere with more kids and moms?[/quote]
