[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not jealous but envious. I think there is a distinction. My HHI is $150K, and I have two kids under 3, with $3,000 daycare costs, and a mortgage. I have no family nearby and I am always watching our money closely. I would like to quit my job to take care of the baby, but we can't afford it. So yes, I am envious of mothers who can stay at home AND send their kids to preschool part time AND have help.[/quote] This. I'm not jealous in a negative way, really, more just like I wish things were easier. I've worked very hard in my career only to be solely responsible for a mortgage, day-to-day and household expenses, daycare for 2, all child expenses, and, on top of it, child support. It doesn't leave room for luxuries that can make life easier (e.g., someone to cut the lawn).[/quote]
