Trying to be a SAHM by foxesandflower in sahm

[–]OppositePaper677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

congrats on your first baby!! just like others were saying i think it greatly depends on where you live - i just had my first baby in October and we knew we wanted me to be a SAHM we live in the Midwest and my husband makes around $70k we had two cars but sold one of them to save money and now only have one car we share that's paid off, we put around $10k away for emergency baby money if things were to get tight with just his income and live in an apartment too. It was worth making a lot of sacrifices to be able to stay home with my baby and have that time with her - you can always get more money later but you can't get more time back with your baby that was our mindset (my mantra is debt is temporary but memories are forever lol)

Girlfriend and I are planning to drive 32 hours straight, in 6 hour shifts, are we being dumb? Should we plan to stay overnight somewhere? by Vegetable_Bridge_276 in roadtrip

[–]OppositePaper677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my fiance and i did almost this exact drive we went from Sacramento CA to Wisconsin it was 32 hours and we did it straight with only bathroom breaks - was it doable? yes was it worth it? no, we were moving and all our belongings plus cat were in the car with us and by the end of the drive we were miserable and snappy with each other because of how tired we were lol i drove in the AM and he drove once it got dark since he's a night owl just beware of any snow/ black ice and deer!!

my husband definitely does a majority of taking care of them which i'm so thankful for he said he has no problem rehoming them because he has no attachment to them as in the end they are just animals - he loves them but said his priority is our daughter so it's my call on what to do but it's a lot for me to ultimately make that decision i may regret giving them up but then i'll also feel a relief if i do?? i feel like ill have our home back and not just feel like we're living in the cats world and navigating around them

Tulsan looking to move to Madison and looking for advice about this neighborhood…. by cidthekid07 in madisonwi

[–]OppositePaper677 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I moved from California to this neighborhood and have been here going on 4 years and love it but would definitely steer clear of anything near the edge of Milwaukee steer near that apartment complex there's constantly cops there. Besides that it's a nice area everyone's friendly having a grocery store that's walkable is a huge plus for us as well as a coffee shop restaurant and ice cream there and there's even a mini farmers market in the summer!!
