[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of jealous biddies in this thread. [/quote]

DCUM absolutely hates mom that stay in private practice. Hates. [/quote]

I don’t hate them, at all. I think two parents in BigLaw is neglect, though. No issue with a SAHD situation. [/quote]

Thank you for proving my point while pretending to be a feminist. As I said. They hate us. [/quote]

I mean, OP is the one playing the victim. If you want to lead that lifestyle then don’t come complaining about your stress and how you don’t have any money. There’s nothing feminist about making yourself miserable.[/quote]

At no point did OP "play the victim". She asked for ideas about how to lighten the load. It's obvious why you're not the kind of person who makes $$$, you can't read. [/quote]

Reread the last sentence of op’s post and then we will give you a chance to come back and correct your needlessly nasty post.[/quote]

She said she needed her income to maintain the lifestyle she has. What's your problem with that? It's true. [/quote]

No problem with it, but[b] it is clear they can’t afford it [/b]and lifestyle is easy to change.

For instance, buy a cheaper house and keep cc and privates.  Or use public school and keep house and cc.

Life’s full of trade offs and op has to make some or continue to be miserable.[/quote]

Actually it sounds like they can afford it. OP didn't come on here crying about not being able to afford private school. They can afford all the things they have.

I agree with you that life is full of trade offs. My husband and I made the decision to leave DC and make half what we used to for a different kind of life and we we're happier here than we were there. But I don't think saying lifestyle changes are easy is true. I think it's easy for people who have done it and are happy or people who are living the life OP could live and are happy. But I understand how OP thinks it's not quite so easy. [/quote]
