[quote=Anonymous]How can I move to France?!

The EU countries are doing something much better than the US. Oh, and they actually mandate paid parental leave for several months too.

Perhaps if the US offered some kind of paid parental leave, OP (and others) wouldn't be running up high debts to spend an extra few months with their newborns. Wow, OP is being slapped for taking 4 months off instead of the 3 months offered under FMLA.

Now that is sad

Yes, OP has made bad decisions. But she is admitting as much, and is trying hard to get advice to fix things. To accuse her of reproducing for "status" is absolutely ridiculous.

Living in a small rowhouse with a family of 5 and driving Hondas certainly doesn't denote status seeking. I respect that much more than the Mercedes SAHMs who have no educations and mooch off their trust find husbands.

OP and her DH seem like they have worked hard in school and at the fed and haven't been handed a silver platter or are trust fund kids. A rarity for this area.

OP - pat odd the CC debt first. Cheap camps or babysitter. Wait until the youngest is out of daycare and then tackle the student loans aggressively.

Once you have tackled the CC debt and about half thr student loans then you can consider a move to a larger home. [/quote]
