[quote=Anonymous]Op here.  Wow - what a surprise to find this again. I actually opened it thinking it was someone else’s post!

Here’s an update:

1.  We bought a house. It’s a modest house inside beltway. we both love it. Quality of day to day life improved immediately. Feels great to be part of a less transient community. Our oldest started kindergarten at local school and we even hosted family for Christmas for first time. We went $100k over what we had thought we would pay initially.  Real estate in this area is sobering. It’s ridiculous but it is what it is. I think/hope that being close to dc and us planning on staying awhile, that it’ll all work out.

2.  Months after buying the house I landed a higher paying job. It’s pretty demanding Which has made me really really appreciate that my husband’s job is predictable. He’s picked up a lot of the responsibilities at home - shopping, dinnner, pick up, bills, doc appts.   It’s been nice for a number of reasons - 1) it takes some of the worry away financially 2)  I appreciate all he handles home to make this work and 3) I was really down on dc but this new job is helping keep things interesting.

Was funny to come across this post.  For anyone going through the same thing I feel for you. It almost  ruined us. Buying really helped. And if we couldnt have bought, I think renting a house would have helped. Apartments w small kids can feel like jail cells when that’s not where you want to be. I will also add that out longer commute (extra 20 mins) hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be.
