OP already said she’s a lawyer.

OP, I would focus on your debt and building up a larger DP before buying. You can rent and it will be cheaper until you are ready. [/quote]

Then how do they have 2 kids and no childcare expenses?[/quote]

Reading is quite simple.  Her DH is a SAHP.  Amazing how people cannot grasp that concept.

Sometimes people have really nice parents who essentially act as nannies or WFH and take care of their children while "working" from home. You wouldn't believe all the people on DCUM who say that they would never "let a stranger take care of their kid". I'm not one of them - I have a nanny. Just saying that many of us don't make assumptions about what is happening if someone has zero childcare expenses. [/quote]

The OP had already stated she works, DH is a SAHP well before that poster commented.  So if people would just read the thread rather than attempting to be rude/obnoxious with "why are there no childcare expenses".   
In reality, it does not matter why there is no childcare expenses, as long as the childcare is reliable.   
And a SAHP or a relative caring for your kids is about as reliable as you can get. [/quote]
