Sounds like you’ve identified the things in your life that need to change. You set your a life totally dependent on 2 incomes & away from all family. Sounds like choices have consequences...[/quote]

I am so glad you are so rich and smug![/quote]
On the contrary. We made tough choices to manage the needs of our family. Walked away from many things we felt entitled to, so we could accept 100% responsibility for our kids 100% of the time. 
If we made more $$, we’d have more kids. If I’d stayed in a high demand job- we’d have fewer kids ect. If we lived closer to family, that would have played in too. And smug, no. Just tired of parents blaming their work/life balance on no one picking up more of the ‘life’. [/quote]

Unless you are homeschooling (which is a whole other issue -- most parents who homeschool don't have the depth of knowledge to teach everything adequately to their older kids and that's its own problem), this really means that when things are normal and your kids are in school you have a lot of extra capacity that you aren't doing foo with.  I mean, it's nice that you're being stretched right now in a way you can handle, but spare me the lecture about providing for your family when most of the time you're sitting about with nothing to do lady.

This is like the grasshopper telling the ant that it should keep a little energy in reserve so that it can pull it out in an emergency.  Dude unlike you *we are going hard all the time.*  But hey keep up the condescension, it's amusing![/quote]
