“Damn… she is asking FLU when him and the spouse thing have sex? WOW screw the housing market sounds like a price is falling orgy is about to happen soon!!! Well Marion just so you know the miss and I have a good session every morning before I take the kids to school and sometimes a little quicky on my detour back to the office!!”

Oops, I said the “S” word in a room full of men…

P.S. (…Marion is looking both ways and slowly backing out of the forum from whence she came…)

Lol, this thread has really gotten out of left field. Entertaining, but still left field.

Anyway,

megabear: social stigma aside, I'm playing more mr. mom these days, and doing career dad too, so I guess that's gonna stick. You aren't doing anything wrong about the quoting from previous replies. It doesn't work.

 

Marion: no, we don't live in a mansion. Far from it. We strongly believe for the tech field, as a worker bee (and that includes all the way up to director level which neither of us are), you're earning potential is pretty much a a bell curve. You start out low, you hit pretty much peak around 10-15 years, and then you go downhill from there. We're both nearing the peak. We both anticipate we can't do this when we're 40, nor do we really want to. What both of us are trying to do is fast track our finances before 40 because neither of us want to deal with this when were 40,50,60. People can debate all they want, but I say the economy is going in the crapper, inflation will be worse, health care is in trouble, and W-2 workers are going to be payiing a hell of a lot of taxes in the future. Anything short of that would be a blessing. So, we're trying to squeeze as much as we can out right now without compromising too much anything else. Money isn't about splurging on crap. It's about piece of mind and security and making sure a child with the ability to attend great universities won't be hindered by some finance technicality. In 7 years, we want everything to be paid off, both current obligations and future ones. As far as your other question, no we don't talk every night about geek things. And as for the second question, that's what the weekends and vacations are for.

Rustico: I admire your parenting examples. When we hadn't determined the gender of the child, I had hoped I wouldn't have a boy because if we did, we I would have to take him on all the sports/outdoor activities which i suck at. God gave me what I wanted from a gender perspective. But, judging about how active my child is, I would say I'll be taking her to all the sports activities. Kinda funny.

Marion: you still didn't answer my question. Where are your job offers being turned down? Before you even get an interview, or after? If you are getting turned down after talking to the people on site. There's something you can do if you have a friend you can really trust and count on. Back awhile ago, my friend really wanted to work for a company, so bad he didn't know what to do if he didn't get the offer. Long story short, I applied for the same job, did the rounds of interviews before him, and briefed came back with what they asked. He applied for the same job, secured his interview, and pretty much knew ahead of time what where some of the things he was going to be grilled on. Yes, he got the job.

 I'm calling it a night. Got my software developer overseas to do what I needed him to do. Nite folks.

FLU I am glad that you expressed what your family is doing think I might have misunderstood if you had not. It is too bad that there are so few part time opportunities for peak performing professionals. Good thing that you are looking at the potential to stagnate or even become obsolete and adjusting accordingly. Very smart.
My wife and I can do what we are doing because we were able to afford to live in a decent place on lowered earnings before we had kids. Trade-off, I am an old dad. It would be easier for families to buy quality time with their kids if lower rent areas with access to employment centers, had better schools, and the neighborhoods were not so “thugged” up. I guess that is why so many blue collar and lower earning white collar people leave California(DUH!). It is why we are in Jamul, which of course has its own problems like any area. Education an the thuggery component seem to be reasonable . There are some dangers, like keeping up with the Joneses, like spoiled rich kids and a few “bad ass” types. Diverse social cliques come with the territory I guess. You get more aware of that in a small town.

I am not incredibly worried about education and much less about sports! That helps, if I felt like the kids had to get top notch schools on my $ that would be a big problem.
We will help them but a modest retirement is our focus too.
I was pretty good at sports but not high on the culture, truth be told. Not that I am saying it is all bad just not something I feel we need to channel the kids into. We are following their leads with some input to make sure they get good opportunities to socialize and have perspectives beyond their main tendencies towards creative and physical aspects which vary greatly by child.If the really liek sports I will help them. My second boy’s favorite movie is “hoop dreams” and when ever we see something pertaining ot the sport he says “I love basketball”.I guess I am raising my kids the way I would have liked to have been raised Sniff sniff..LOL.

Our focus and energy on raising our kids would not change if my wife and I divoriced. I knew that before I married her and her about me. She could tell by how I treated my friends, strangers,old people, my friend’s kids and my 13 y.o. golden retriever. For my part I know it would be very rare for a woman not to care deeply about her kids. My wife would want me to have a quality life and me her. I know that because I know how she treated her first ex- husband with whom we have had dinner and seen socially.
