[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, spend what you can afford to to preserve your sanity (this will also help your marriage, which reduces the likelihood of divorce, which is financially crushing). There's no reason to be a mommy martyr.[/quote]

What does this even mean. It’s possible to care for children without outside help without being a martyr. [/quote]

Not for everyone it isn’t. Depends on your kids. For me, it’s impossible. [b]My child has never slept through the night [/b]and is high needs so I’ve been a zombie for years. When I tried doing it all on no sleep I developed high blood pressure and high cholesterol.[/quote]

That’s on you. High needs and refusing to sleep is just blaming it on the inability to set boundaries and sleep train.

You don’t need a housekeeper.  You need to get your child sleeping.

Lol thanks. I’ll be sure to tell her neurologists, sleep doctors, GI specialists, allergist, ENT and pediatricians that random internet stranger has declared our situation my fault. Gee, if only I’d tried to solve this.[/quote]
