Ok.  DH makes 90k.  We saved a lot before kids and bought a 1.8M house in a good school district.  Mortgage is under $300.  We rent out a room and that brings in 15K - that's my play money.  Kid's colleges are almost funded, but we're also saving for grad school.

I really wanted to quit but didn't think DH would be okay with it.  Turns out, he really wanted me to stay home as well.  [b]I worked the first year after our first child was born and our other children, so I spent more time with, are much smarter and less socially awkward.[/b]  I regret working when the first was a baby!

My kids can do so much with me that other kids miss out on.  So many nature activities, trips, and even just snuggles make a difference.  Playdates and preschool give them social interaction.

:shock:

No, if you formula fed the first one and breastfed the others, [i]that’s[/i] probably why the first one is dumb and socially awkward.

…oh wait, that’s also only true in crazy-person-land.

Lady, your first child is not less intelligent and less socially adept because you were working, unless you actually locked them in a box while you were gone. That assertion is nuts. You want to stay at home? Great, enjoy, go for it. [b]But building an insane story to support your choice is not necessary or helpful, and certainly not helpful to your poor first child, who you’ve deemed inferior forevermore because - horrors! - they had a working mom for the first year of their life.[/b] [/quote]
