[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]I have a roster of tried, tested, quality and reasonably priced service providers, some of them from my own community (Indian American)  - cleaners, chefs, caterers, beauticians, event decorators, servers, bartenders, landscapers, handymen, tailors, henna artists, priests, photographers, videographers, party planners, dog sitters, babysitters, tour guides,  elder companions, taxi drivers,[/b] travel agents, attorneys, sales people, real estate agents etc.

We are DCUM middle class and even though my DH makes a decent amount of money, we are not wealthier because I decided to become a SAHM. I can cut off on expensive indulgences for myself, ie - no beauty parlor, no gym, no designer anything, no expensive car, no expensive house, no expensive private school for kids - but I spend money on outsourcing to the above service providers

All of this is way too excessive for me! I actually enjoy doing some of these things myself and don’t want to outsource every single aspect of my life so I can just hang out with my children (when I feel like it.)

[b]I would prefer to spend that money on a good private school for the kids, buy a nice, comfortable (not huge) house in a good DC neighborhood and have extra money to go to the spa and travel on a regular basis.[/b] PP’s life sounds incredibly boring to me, probably just managing the staff all day.[/quote]

LOL.  But you do not have the money, or the good private school, or the nice comfortable cozy house in a good DC neighborhood or extra cash to go to the spa or travel.   So all that you said is basically a bunch of sour grapes, no?

I  outsource many chores so that I can hang out with my kids and my DH.  You don't sound like you have kids. Or a social life. Or money. TBH. [/quote]

And you don’t sound like you have class. Or Grace. Or tact. TBH. [/quote]
