[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How high of a mortgage are you talking?  One option is to downsize--lots of options open up when you don't have a huge mortgage. One person can stay home, work PT etc. It makes a huge difference in quality of life. [/quote]

But we are not asking for examples of how people SAH or go PT: we wanted to know what people who are doing our same plan (two FT WOH jobs, no family/nanny) are swinging it?  Are we outliers or all everyone feels in this mad shuffle like us? ANd if not: tips :) Suggestions to move and go SAH/PT are not really the direction we are leaning unless really have to.[/quote]

Also, I think you're glamorizing telework. I telework 3 times a week and it is still a mad dash, I don't get time to clean the house or run errands during the day, nor does it help with dinner. I am actively working until I clock out at 6pm and only then can start dinner.  My life is actually better on the days at I dont telework because DH cooks on those days. I use to have a commute way worse than your commute and the only thing that works is organization and a schedule. And not comparing your life to other people's lives wouldn't hurt either (I don't mean that in a mean way)[/quote]
