[quote=Anonymous]I would make sure not to fall into the two income trap. If you need both your incomes to make rent or mortgage payments, you are going to feel a lot of pressure if and when you have a kid. Other things that make our lives easier with kids: -Formula -Sleep train -Really good nanny or very close by in-home daycare -Don’t neglect your sleep or health -Don’t get your kids in activities or other things that require extra logistics, at least not til they’re late ES or MS. -Prioritize the total logistics for the family. To the extent you can, choose doctors, schools, activities that are close by to your home -make sure your partner is at least as competent as you are with childcare. Leave him alone with the baby often and for long stretches, starting in infancy. Don’t become the only expert.[/quote]
