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 have one like that too. Same MO with the 3 sentences, and this also was a kid who started writing at 3. <<

Perhaps our children were separated at birth!!

>> I wasn't, does that mean my status stays the same as the one I was raised in? <<

Wow, if that's true, then that sucks for me. What the heck did I go to college and grad school for? LOL.

I have a work calling card that I use several times a day. I could not recite the number to save my life, but I can type the 16 digits into a telephone keypad without hesitation.

>> of course the individual assignment Fs would affect the overall grade, how could they not? <<

Learned that the hard way myself in 12th grade. I got an F for not turning something in, which resulted in a D for the quarter. In ENGLISH. It shaped me up right quick!
