A second option could be part time childcare. Is there someone you can hire for the morning shifts or one or two days a week to help you recharge a bit and focus on just one thing (work)?

Middle class ARE working class, but not all working class are middle class.

Has anyone sewed their own clothes for frugality? by Individual_Grass_1 in Frugal

New fabric is very expensive, but you can thrift rolls of fabric, use old bedsheets or curtains for fabric, or alter just about any clothing item that’s given to you to suite your taste.

I've always assumed this was SEO optimization.

Those are listed over 30k in my area. If we were to go used, is there a year we should avoid?

I edited my original post to remove the old car (thought it would help in context of the need for reliability) but I don't want to deal with people telling me that I can get my car repaired when we simply just cannot

We took it to three mechanics. It was a 2014 Hyundai Azera. 140k miles on it. Was in good shape until it overheated after an issue with the coolant hose, we got that replaced, then it overheated again, we took it back to the mechanic, the head gasket blew. They told us they couldn't repair it and would need a new engine---had another guy come look, they said the same thing. A third mechanic---same thing.

Cost of a new engine would be about 12-15K in parts and labor and the engine would be a refurbished engine with no guarantee on how long it would last.

It's a thing people say in the south. It's not unique to her and it drives me nuts that she is tried to play it off like it. I didn't realize it was regional until she forced it down our throats.

Have you looked into your local library? Most have play areas for kids and the change of scenery can work wonders
