[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 1429138, member: 5053"] We order diapers and toilet paper from Amazon, and I have no shame at all about it. We have 3 young children who aren't in school yet. I work PT at UPS, along with another job in the evening that puts me at 50 hours a week or so. My wife works full-time. We don't pay for child-care, because we have delicately balanced our schedules so that one of us is always with the kids. The slightest hiccup in the schedule becomes a real logistical problem for us. Throw in an active schedule with churches and a couple volunteer organizations, and it gets pretty hectic. We work this much and get through it all to pay off all our debts, including our small and modest home. We'll be done in 2 or 3 years. We love kids, and we want more, along with a simple and financially sound future. Sometimes, folks can't "just go to the store." It doesn't work that way. If I'm going to add an errand on top of my schedule already, it's going to have to be something that I can't solve with a mouse-click. Sometimes, I'm just getting up and look terrrible at noon when the UPS driver comes by, because I worked all evening, and all night, and watched the kids early in the AM. He looks at me like I'm a lazy bum. And you know how bad I feel? Not one bit. [/QUOTE]
