[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 35 and realized between working, dealing with two small children (an infant and toddler), dealing with money stress that involves the massive cost of a growing family and living in the DC area and just thought I'd love to have a conversation with my 55 year old empty nested self. Since time travel is impossible, I'm asking you all. What would you tell your younger self, who is mired in the small children, sleep deprived phase of life about life?

Does it get better? :)[/quote]

Yeah it gets way better.  I don't even remember what those days felt like.  I have an 11 yr old and 15yr old.  This is what I would tell my 35 yr old self.

1) max out your 401K

2) save save save.

3) buy a small shit shack in a great school district

4) don't worry what everyone else has.

5) private schools are only worth the money if your child has specific learning differences that cannot be addressed in public. Otherwise save your money

6) everyone has their "share of shit".  All those perfect families you see walking around, its all a facade.  They all have SOMETHING going on in their family that they don't want anyone to know about.[/quote]
