  1. Stay at home moms
    Hello , I have been a stay at home mom for almost 2 years and a half. My sons are almost 9mo and 2.5 years. It is honestly one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I am struggling. Especially since I come from a household in which we had maids, I did not do anything. Also I am very...

    Hi Frugal Villagers, Can you help me with a relationship difficulty? I find out that money management was a big challenge in my last relationship. The difficulty was to take the time to sit down and plan our budget/spedings together. I easely see the benefits of a well designed budget, but she...
  3. Home Environment
    So I got married last year, and as gifts received a number of items referred to as "family heirlooms" by the givers. I'm going to be honest - I don't want or need any of it. It's lots of silver plate, old glassware (not in especially nice condition), just clutter. Nothing homemade or...

    I have had a daycare child with me for about 2-1/2 years and have not had any problems with this family. The little girl will be starting school in the fall and leaving my care. About half a year ago or so the mother mentioned that she might pull her a couple months early and put her in a...
