I agree with you 100% although it is hard the D is nothing that I want to happen or have any control over. I have already started to sell some items which I don't use anymore to get cash fer home purchase in the future I don't plan on buying right away maybe just rent for awhile close to kids. I have been very fortunate to have had the oppertunity to be a stay at home dad for the first 8 yrs I was well established in the machining trades and made a very good living. After manufacturing started to make a nose dive it only made sense for me to stay home with kids and do side jobs on machines I had in the garage. My wife has a great job at a law firm which afforded us this also. After my youngest was born I took on a full time job and we put youngest in daycare untill a few incidents happened in which I pulled my son out and decided to take on a night position to be with him during the day. I don't mind sacrificing my sleep knowing my son is safe. My wife thought we should try another daycare and it was even worse than the first the 3yr olds ruled the daycare and put my son in real danger. I pulled him out and have receptive to others with my kids I'm way protective of them which my wife thinks I'm a bit overprotective. My only response to my wife was that I do not want to be on the other end of the phone when something bad happens and I'm not going to take that chance. Well that was a few years ago and my son just turned 4 so I think a little different now and have done some reaserch and found a place inwhich I think I can trust. My wife is a great and can be a very loving person but I think the influence of others plays a major role in what has happened between us. Thanks again I didn't mean to get this carried away.
