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.

Again, though, where is this funding coming from?

No, I haven't. Next time I have to get to Toys R Us, I'll have to stop in.


BTW, finally talked to K about you.

You couldn't have paid me to go to THAT jesuit university ;-)

It's pretty much what everyone else has been saying....the traditional public school should provide a basic education for every child, period.

Oh, so you are just saying a "wouldn't it be nice if...." sort of thing.
