[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are all %&$Woles.  While I'm not in this posters shoes, I'm a first generation college student, student loaned mom who moved to dc to do good. No PP, I couldn't call on my parents for help with loans or down payments, so my partner and I pieced together what we could, and we do...ok.  We get by but we aren't getting ahead.  I'm just glad we aren't buying under these new interest rates.

[b]I also think there's a huge untapped UGH/GRIEF/TRAUMA whatever people are comfortable calling in about parents of young kids during the pandemic.  [/b]Maybe I should start a new thread or ask some journalist to do an investigative operation, but the untapped marital and work stress of the pandemic on working moms who are the breadwinners has to be a trauma no one has read into (and I don't use trauma lightly).[/quote]

I can’t agree more. We ourselves were lucky, but I know plenty of otherwise competent people who were incredibly stressed out and still digging out of those holes mentally. It’s no wonder social events have reduced in number.[/quote]

Oh spare me the dramatics about Covid. That was such a nothingburger. [/quote]

PP, you have multiple kids in daycare when they shut down for six months?

OP, I am two years older than you and never had an opportunity to buy a house so you were lucky!  It also sounds like you didn't experience trouble having children or any major health issues for you or your kids.  You are lucky.  Please look at it from that perspective.  Then try to evaluate your relationship on its own merits without the noise.[/quote]

Oh no, taking care of your own children was so traumatizing.

Spare me.

Jesus, you ignorant people.[/quote]

Taking care of your own children who are just learning to walk while you have a stressful job at a government agency dealing with the pandemic?[/quote]

Shit happens. You deal. This was nothing compared to the actual traumas facing older generations. Nothing. NOTHING.[/quote]
