[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how old is your child? And are you struggling financially? My children are older (school aged) and we, knock on wood, do not have financial worries. Much easier when your kids aren't exhausting you every day and you do not have to worry about making ends meet.[/quote]

OP Here. DS is 10 months old. HHI is $120K.  I make $70K and DH makes $50K. We are not  struggling financially but we sure don't have money to blow either. I work very hard usually 12 hour  days  in order to bring home my paycheck and we live frugally below our means.[/quote]

I am the 12:50 poster.  We are similar financially and in children's age, attempts to live frugally below means, etc.  But it doesn't take more time or energy to smile and be pleasant. Actually, it helps me feel better because, as studies have shown, if you go thru the physical motions of smiling and laughing and talking, it actually changes brain chemistry and you feel better too!  Try to "fake it 'til you make it"!  :)[/quote]
