[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a single parent in DC. I have a higher salary than yours, but it's hard for me to think of a kid who lives that close to the Smithhsonians as deprived. There are tons of free activities for kids every weekend. The Folger also has some. There are tons of playgrounds that are a quick bus ride away, if you tire of the one nearby. Keep your child too busy to pine for what they dont have.[/quote] So much this. [/quote] Another single mom (By Choice, and a nurse) here. Same income --75K. . (I have worked less since adopting my child; I used to work a lot of OT and made 100K). My child is now 8 and I have never paid for a child's activity. Living in the DC area (Silver Spring) so so so so much is free.... at 75K we want for nothing! I don't even own a car anymore. I am one block from the bus and 8 blocks from the metro. A few uber/ lyft rides per week or month come in far cheaper than car/ insurance. [/quote]
