If you're a WOH/WAH mom, what sort of "downsizing" would you need to do in order to afford to be a SAHM? (SAHM defined here as not earning any money)

For me, I would have to put all our non-essential possessions in storage and move in with my parents.

That's the word I have used throughout this thread, the typical child.

I feel the exact same way about my son's passions.

Oh, I thought you meant to cut activities, not privileges at home.
