[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a tiny townhome in Alexandria. DH makes 100k, I stay home with our 3 kids. Schools are not great, so we homeschool the oldest. My husband drives an old car, but I had to buy a new minivan this year to fit three kids in car seats. We have no debt besides the mortgage. We think we’re pretty fortunate. We do watch what we buy, but I’m ok with that if it means I get to stay home with the kids. I had a very stressful, but high paying job before having kids. [/quote] Why didn’t your husband stay at home if you were the high earner? [/quote] He can’t take care of the kids and has no patience for homeschooling. He would sit on his cell phone all day while the kids ate gummies and crackers. I’m a better stay at home parent. My job was stressful too. I was an ER doc in a busy, poorly staffed ER. [/quote] Seems like the economics here suggest you would have come out ahead with daycare or a nanny. [/quote]
