What Tallulah said. All of it.

Meh. We are caught in a catch-22 with this stuff. If I work, we can afford more enrichment. But if I work, then DD needs that much more enrichment and there's no full-time parent to scaffold executive skills and hothouse the bald patches....

plus, there's no way that the local school could deal with DD's first exceptionality, never mind the second.

Ergo, here we are.

It's not perfect, and my DD would have a lot of things that she doesn't if we were more affluent, I suppose.

But finding cheap and low-cost things has become something of a game for me over the years. There is a LOT out there if you look. smile
