wisewoman,
I so understand your situation. i had to quit work to care for the little man, and we were just making it then. my youngest had to get a job to take care of her spending money and we've had to really cut back. i'm worried about how we're going to make it at the bare minimum

i soooooo understand.
i do not think there's anything wrong with hubby asking parents for help if they can afford it. we've had to do that before and i know if anything comes up, we may have to do that again, as we've gone through our savings, etc.
i wish you well, and i'm glad there's a current solution. you have someone in the same boat with ya, and we're survivors. this boat ain't gonna sink
love ya,
kd
