[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP fails to remember one thing:  they did this to themselves.  They made a decision to have 3 kids(or not!), they chose the cars they have, the places they live, and, and this is key, they CHOSE to incur the debt they did.  Yes, it might be medical issues, but, you chose to make those pymts.  Or, you chose a job that has crappy or no medical coverage.  It is a story of choices made.  And, unfortunately, unwise choses made.  Asking for help, or even, paying for help, won't get you there.  You need to make rational decisions. [/quote]

+1.  This is why I don't have much faith in OP turning things around.  I can't imagine a normal person would ever make these decisions to begin with.  I would die from stress if I lived off of a credit card during maternity leave.  I could understand maybe a single mom who has NO other options during leave.  But a wife with a husband making six figures?  They couldn't buckle down and live off of his salary for ONE month?  Then to make that same mistake over and over again?

I remember waiting to have kids with my husband because I knew we could afford to save for a home while also paying for childcare.  I don't think OP gets it and understands one has to think this way.  [/quote]
