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.

I think she means for the assignment


As the child of a mother who used to call kids to her desk to have them watch her write the F in the assignmetn book for anything they didn't turn in I agree with the teachers on this -- I've also had teachers that marked you down a letter grade for every day it was late which is another good tactic -- but it makes. you. adhere. to. deadlines.

They have done them on their own as well, good point.

Exactly, my son has a few F's for his; lost it, forgot it or didn't follow directions...last semester, but he still pulled the grades for the honor roll.

You don't worry about how he's going to go to college or get a good job if he graduates with all Cs?
