My second AIBU in as many minutes
Not returning to work after having second DD. Will be relying on DH wage which should be fine except that when I was working we both brought in similar amounts so we are dropping approx 45% salary!
DH coincidently has a new job which has started same time as I have ended mat leave and finished work. I don't think we can afford to run two cars and so I am thinking about getting a bike and trailer to take kiddies to pre-school and into town.
We are lucky that we live on a good cycle path, if I leave my house and cycle 2 miles left I get to pre-school, if I cycle 2 miles right I get into town. I can do online shopping for food and we use DH's car at weekends. And there is a bus service which is quite frankly bloody expensive Any emergencies I would call an ambulance for and we live 10 minutes from the A&E department..
DH and most of my friends think I am being ridiculous. I think it is a necessity as times are going to be tough and people did survive before cars and I might stand a chance of shedding some baby weight
Am I being ridiculous? DDs are 8 months and 2.10yrs
