We have a mortgage and a half (rental covers the other half) and, luckily, we've always been able to save to take a week's vacation in the summer -- as well as a small motorcycle trip for dh and I.
I'm sure it's not an easy thing to know beforehand. I am definitely speaking of after being married and already having the child. I figure if I have to do it myself, what's the point of having another person around to bother me?
I never bought a jar of baby food in my life. Well.. I did a couple of times when I had some dental work when I was in my teens.. LOL. My kids went straight from breastmilk to table food.
I agree... I think "higher standards" is code for "control freak" or "he does it different than I do and I don't like it." I can see where the problem may not lie with the father. I've met a few who don't do much because once scolded enough times, they give up. Some people take the old saying, "If you want it done your way, do it yourself", way too far.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm gone for a couple of days, and there are 545 posts to read! We'll see if I get anywhere.

Well, I think it varies.
I agree with you, well cared for kids is the bottom line.
