[quote=sarah1513][quote=Anonymous][quote=sarah1513][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need to tell him but you also shouldn't expect a break simply because you are having twins.  If the rent is too expensive for you then you should move to a different place. [/quote]

you live on the hill - you could move to, say, rockville and rent for less money. welcome to the commute/size/schools/budget dilemma.[/quote]

We're fine with the schools--big supporters of public schools--[b]and not able to move at this time, especially not so far out. The fact of moving in and of itself is an expense[/b] we couldn't take on now for one thing.

I'm not EXPECTING the landlord not to raise our rent, just expressing a hope. The current rent is not too expensive (other than by the standard that ALL rent in DC is too expensive) but the longer we can go without a rent increase the better off we will be. (Duh.)

We have had money saved toward potentially buying a place at some point, but that will now all be spent down as we supplement our monthly income to cover daycare and other child expenses. [/quote]

i see - you simply must keep living in one of the most expensive neighborhoods, it's the only way?[/quote]

I know this was sarcastic but: basically. We can't afford the actual moving expenses and the decreased quality of life from the length of that commute for each of us (my husband works in Suitland and I work on the Hill) would outweigh any potential savings in rent.[/quote]
