@sunflower232 We are not struggling but compared to couple of years back, we are definitely saving less, contributing less to 401k combined, and spending more. Second kid childcare, picking up back some expensive winter activities, kids activities etc + house stuff + spouse being out of work for...

@lmd0137 I always send once they are fever free for 24h and behave normally

@hman My classmate just died leaving a husband and a toddler. That was been done (not by me I just contributed) Food delivery (grocery and take out). It was a “train” with assigned dates and people Gofundme - I believe the plan is to put towards college fund Babysitting I’d say sending...

@swatson I think we easily spend more than $1000 and even more once you account for alcohol. We also eat out (and even more now as I’m not working so out and about more and husband back to office a few times a week). It’s been a long while since we reviewed the budget

@gembeldolar My husband was against cleaners before we got fantastic cleaners and now he would rather cut on going out then them

@keepitsimple144 My husband is horrible with dates. We had a visa interview and he could not remember the year we got married. Or the date our youngest was born (which are two days in a row, just different years)

@lesbian5eva are you in college town? If so I’d look into hiring one of the students as babysitters or a nanny to watch the baby at least for a few hours a day few days a week (bare minimum) Maybe walk them in a stroller so they are out of the house. I assume this arrangement can be cheaper...

@ballofconfusion I would look at age group for kids in daycare next school year. Like if most of them are close / same age, won’t be an issue. But if there are 5 under 2 and then your daughter being 3.5, it would be an issue

@journierman I think you should tell him it’s time to retire and enjoy his life. You will take care of the business and that his accounts are full.

@randall1967 If the role is not scoped for PT, than yes. My previous employer offered a few PT corporate position in pretty much all job families but transitioning in the same role won’t be possible except a ramp back after maternity leave.

@chillcwill I think 8-9 months is so short that I’d better eat the cost. Alternatively you may look for a nanny as with 3 kids or may end up cheaper (depends a lot on the area, daycare rate, nanny rate) Will insurance cost change? Will your 401k contribution drop?

@djmads Well at least in the state I leave the paid benefit is capped. And while it claims up to 90% or pay, I think you need to make really low to get to this number. I think I got like 50% Still better than unpaid leave but I’m glad my employer topped it to 100% and gave weeks on top

@cfcfcf When do you sleep and have me time? Personally that sounds awful

@randall1967 Can you move to another team Pt?
