Sure they do. Downsize, downsize, downsize. You don't need to live in a 3,000 sq ft place, hire help for cleaning and yardwork, wear the best clothes, have an iPhone5, drive an SUV with only one or two kids, use coupons and shop the specials. Cook more, go out to eat once a month or less.

It can easily be done, even in this area. But people here are too set on keeping up their extravagant lifestyles.

Unfortunately my employer won't let me downsize.  I'd be happy to take a paycut to work fewer hours and be there to get my kids on and off the bus.  Sadly, part time work is not an option since I need health insurance, for example.

If employers would be more flexible, allow more Work at home, more part time work, and if traffic didn't consume two hours of my day, I wouldn't have to use supplemental child care.

However I am encouraged by the fact that my now ten year old somehow survived kindergarten after care and is now a delightful young person thriving in AAP Academics.  Can't imagine how she overcame the disadvantages of having a working mom....[/quote]
