[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$120 a month for cable/phone/internet can acutally be the final tipping point.  That's enough for a grocery store run, diapers or formula.  And if you are using your credit card for routine purchases it can end up costing more in the long run.[/quote]

If you need to cut cable to afford diaper, stop breeding.[/quote]

Luckily, we honestly can afford to have #2.  I was pissed at the suggestion this morning that we're basically fucking up our kid by putting him in preschool with too many other kids in order to afford a #2.  But that is a whole other conversation, I guess.  My family at home thinks our ped is nuts for recommending so many specialists and that we are nuts for going along with it.  My SIL was like yeah, my kid did that too and is fine now.  It's called growing out of it.  None of his preschool teachers ever had an issue with it.  So I guess I am also reacting to the overall culture of smarty pants overeducated consultants/teachers/other parents who constantly seem to make you feel like you are not Mother of the Year enough or something.  I am worried now that all of this "evaluating" and our parental stress about it is going to make my kid feel like there is something wrong with him when there probably isn't.  The pressure, culture and cost of this city have pushed me to my breaking point.  I don't hate DC - but I liked it much more when I was young, single and didn't have kids.  Now it just feels like a drag everyday.  But maybe I'm deluding myself into thinking it will be better at home.[/quote]
