[quote=Anonymous]You make $200k and you're worried? We made half that 5 years ago when we had our son. It was fine. We just had less choices than those with more money and/or family nearby. We chose to live in the burbs, used a home daycare, and my maternity leave was only the 6 weeks of STD. Was it ideal? No. Did it work? Absolutely. DC was also a premie, so we had therapies and early intervention and all that fun stress the first two years, but kid is now a thriving 5 year old. I'm not trying to diminish the very real concerns over the changes a child brings to life--they are many! But you can always choose to change jobs or lean out or move closer to family down the road if that makes more sense. Babies generally come one at a time, so you aren't going to be responsible for 3 schedules and childcare payments and extra curriculuars all at once. You grow into it and it works itself out.[/quote]
