EC, you don't have to work, you get to stay home with your kids, AND you have help? Wow, you are quite a lucky woman that your husband makes enough money to support you and 3 children and pay for childcare too, especially in today's tough economic environment! And you are making money from "investments" too? Please share your secret - from what I hear from people in finance, nobody is making money in the stock market these days. My husband and I are struggling to make ends meet - we both have to work full-time jobs with 2 kids and can barely afford daycare. All of my friends are in similar situations or worse (one spouse laid off). I only have one girlfriend who doesn't work and is a housewife like you but she has no help with childcare and does everything herself. I hope you appreciate how great you have it because I definitely envy you!
