[quote=Anonymous]I have three kids and you’re gross, and you’re derailing the subject.

We are not high achieving. We are millennials. We are moderately achieving.

It’s not *because* we have three. It’s because we never came from money; we have so much more than our parents imagined, but we didn’t have a life starting boost. Neither of us are model-hot (at all), attractive people with average, asymmetrical faces. My DH has a very high degree but it’s not prestigious or corporate climbing. I left a good corporate climbing job but not for SAHM, but because of a needed geographic relocation - and it was like 2 years before remote started happening more - and my company was not flexible or willing to start. My boss literally mixed up sales tax projects we worked on together for income tax problems related to my move.

First boss after high degree for DH paid him a salary “for his dues.” First three years of his work he was underpaid. This really set us back.

This is all well before the third kid. Third kid cost us only one thing - a car for space - which we needed to replace DH’s car anyway. I still pay less for him on most other things. Very little on toys, very little on clothes.

It’s not the third kid.[/quote]
