I went from about $39,500 to $45k and some change. My hours really won't vary/increase from what they already are. No, the increase isn't enough for FT dc but it will make it MUCH easier to swing PT dc.
We also finally replaced the car I totaled last month, so financially it is kind of a wash this year. On the dc issue, I have cooled down a lot - mainly because DH assured me that he wasn't in cahoots with his mom to disregard my wishes for him to be in dc. DH is very against DS being in dc in any capacity right now because of his age. I said that we can revisit that and our financial situation every 3 months. In the meantime I will continue to suck it up and try to be more nice, civil, and inclusive with MIL.

I'd bookmark this thread for posterity so when your DS is 2 or 2.5, your DH doesn't try to pull the "maybe in another year..." card |
