[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I responded upthread that you are overspending.  I did not mean to be judgmental, just wanted to give you a bit of a reality check and defend your husband's decision.  if you were a SAHM with a husband making close to 7 figures, no debt, loads of money in the bank, I'd say he needs to lay off and give you the discretion to spend as you see fit.  But I've been where you are and we cut out all luxuries while we paid off credit card debt.  [/quote]

Lol wow. I also told OP she was spending too much, but if you think you need to close to a 7 figure income to get a pedicure you are seriously out of touch. [/quote]

OP here: People are so extreme. We cut back in a lot of ways. I don't have a cell phone. We drive an old car. We don't have internet or tv at home. The pedicures are an occasional thing. I'm the mother of a difficult 2-year-old boy. He is healthy, bright, and, when he's not throwing an intense tantrum, very happy. But life with him is a roller-coaster ride. The littlest thing can send him into a rage. Getting an occasional pedicure which includes a massage REALLY helps. I spoke to DH tonight and will be able to pay off our debt in 6 months if we stop using the credit card. [/quote]

Your child is no more difficult than any other two year old.  It sounds like you need to adjust your parenting and attitude.  Or, if his behavior is that bad, he needs an evaluation.  You can get a cheap cell phone.  That makes no sense on the list of priorities especially with an old car.  If you don't have internet or a cell phone, how are you posting here?  That makes no sense?  Last time I checked you needed the internet to post here.[/quote]

Now she's talking massages in addition to the pedicures.  Lol.  Troll much? [/quote]
