[quote=Anonymous]OP have you tried to figure out a way to stay home? We live in NW DC in a 2 bedroom condo. Kids go to a very good DCPS. I have been able to work less than 20 hours a week for 7 years. This meant being mostly at SAHM during the first 6 years of my children's life. My husband makes less than 80K a year. Last year was the first year that our combined incomes reached 100K. Its tight. We don't save, we don't spend much, we have some occasional financial and babysitting help from family...but I never resented my husband. Just made the sacrifice and made it work. If you really desperately want it, try to make it happen. Now that kids are older, I'm working a bit more.[/quote]
