[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you should of thought about this before you got pregnant.  Just assuming your partner will figure out how to make more money while your pregnant is poor planning on your part. [/quote]

+1 why get pregnant if you aren't financially ready for one?[/quote]

Oh, come on.  Most of us are not financially ready or have our lives totally ready before we get pregnant.  Thing is for OP, I think she needs to look at other mechanisms for making her life more comfortable.  For example, downsize.  And, while I'm sure we would all love to pay for our kids' higher education, maybe OP needs to accept the reality of her financial situation and downsize her expectations.  For example, maybe she can't cover tuition at a private college, but maybe it is realistic to prepay a community college/four year education at a state school.

It is far better to enjoy your life while you are raising your children then to do something you don't want or won't like because it makes more money.  [/quote]

+1,000 ... People can't read for shit too. Op is working. Op doesn't want a BMW. Op is trying to find a better paying job.

And one things for fucking sure - I don't know a single person who wasn't amazed/shocked at what having a kid does to your expenses. No one anticipates the full impact.
