[quote=Anonymous]We both WOH and have no family near by. Older child was VERY difficult up until recently (she is almost 3), so we also didn't use babysitters because we felt like it was too much for anyone else to handle if we couldn't do it ourselves. WOH without any help nearbye has been very hard on us. They are two years apart and both in day care.We feel like we are shuttling the kids back and forth. Nanny not an option due to cost and me staying home not an option now due to expenses (trying to pay off student loans). I *could* stay at home with them but money would be very tight on one income. DH in the middle of finishing doctorate while working so hoping this will change when he finishes (1-2 years), but moving to another (more affordable) place is also not an option right now. Hang in there. Sometimes we feel like we are the only ones doing this but its helpful to know others are muddling through too.[/quote]
