How old are your dc? You want enough to support them through college, and cover any other dependents, plus pay off your mortgage. As you keep building savings and dc get older, coverage becomes less necessary.

Keep it real. I realized a few years ago that I freeze people out if they're the type who require a lot of that fake cheerleading-style support, and the result is that most of my friends are the sort who keep it real themselves and don't need me to do otherwise.

well, my mom comes over when I need to do errands like the grocery store - we don't have a ton of extra money to have a babysitter for me to run around for things that aren't urgent. most of the stuff I have to do is IN the house which makes it harder because they see me.

true, it's just really hard to find responsible one's these days but I did find one who is great with my kids - just 1 would rather have me over her. And actually having a "break" to do things around the house helps me clear my mind and adds some variety to my day - so I would much rather do them myself and have someone else take over playing baby games

I hear you - it's not that I'm worried about my child - it's that I'm worried that it won't work out since the nursery has a policy of coming to get the mother if the child is inconsolable past 10 minutes. I want confirmation that there aren't many other mothers out there who wouldn't have been able to leave their child without this issue.

Roof. If you need to sell, the house will not qualify for a mortgage with a defective roof. I think roof life expectancy on inspection must exceed 3 years for a standard insurance policy required for a mortgage. That will reduce your buyer pool to cash only buyers.

Neither is cheap, but a working roof is a damn sight cheaper and more necessary than an updated kitchen - not sure why these are equivalent in your analysis.

I am sorry. I was in your situation 2 months ago. No heartbeat at my 12 week apt. FWIW it will get better. DH and I are already trying again. They analyzed the tissue after the D and C and there was a chromosomal abnormality. This gave us some peace of mind knowing that our DB would not have been healthy. It does not make it any less sad or frustrating. My heart goes out to you. Allow yourself to grieve and feel sad.
