[quote=Anonymous]I feel so sorry for people who post in good faith asking for advice on DCUM. For every one thoughtful poster who contributes some genuine, well-intentioned advice that actually applies to the OP's situation, there are 20 more rude, insensitive, self-righteous posters who don't even read the original post or any of the OP's followup posts, and just shovel out their usual b.s.

People - stop accusing her of secretly eating out all the time. She's already said she cooks at home, and low-cost items at that. Instead of leaping to conclusions and pointing fingers because you think it's fun to judge other people and be nasty, pay attention to the numbers: mortgage, child care, and student loans. And then just...children. Children are expensive. Co-pays, field trips, clothes, shoes, braces - it all adds up.

OP, I'm glad a few people on here gave you GOOD advice (tracking every cent using mint.com or similar, withholding, cheaper phone plans, cheaper/no gym). But you people who are telling her to send her kids to Grandma's and sell her new house for a loss? Or take on a stranger as a roommate with kids in the house? Jeebus.[/quote]
