[quote=Anonymous]My last response to the Single mom who shot down the suggestions. - You make 35K per year more than I, which probably means you’re an employee, possibly with benefits. Do you leverage these benefits in ways to improve your work/life balance? - In order to make that extra 35K you seem spend a lot more in time and daycare to do it. Consider finding ways to adjust the work schedule if possible. - Relationships. It may be difficult to develop these with neighbors or other parents in your school, but I found that it’s been extremely enriching for our family’s life. One year I did pickups while another parent did drop offs a few days per week. Neither one of us needed to pay daycare those days and our kids are pretty close to this day. Everything isn’t for everyone. However consider being a little flexible with your mindset; you may find that at 75K you can do a lot more than you think. And we live in DC. [/quote]
