I use Dental Plus with Ameriplan, includes vision, Rx and chiropractic [2008-09-24]
The Dental Plus card I use also includes vision, Rx and chiropractic. I have a few brand-name prescriptions for my family for which I was paying $54/month each & now only paying $12-14 each. It's saved me a lot of money and only costs $19.95/month for a household of up to 20 people, don't even have to be related. If it's just one person, it's only $14.95/month. Just thought I'd mention it as another option in case anyone needed vision or Rx in addition to dental :)

It sounds like he was this way before you were a SAHM, [2008-03-29]
and probably was this way before you married him. You cannot do everything yourself and you should not try. (He may not even know what he needs to do to help you and is just lashing out because he is stressed too.) You need to speak with him about this, but I'll leave that advice to others that have gone through similar situations. (I am a SMBC and do do everything myself, but I also do not have anyone complaining about my choice to fingerpaint with my child instead of scrubbing the floors.) In addition, maybe you can find a group of moms to get together with and socialize while the kids play, something like a Mommy and Me that would allow you to bring both your kids. Something that would get you out of the house where your kids would be safe and you could interact with other adults. You sound isolated and stressed. Just out of curiosity, what is/was his relationship with his mother like? Is she one of the do-everything for her family moms or did she delegate responsibility to her spouse and kids?

How do you all do it? [2007-09-10]
I have a 2 year old and a 7 month old - both girls. I have a transcription job, but find I am barely making enough lines to make a difference in our financial situation. My husband has a very good job, but we are struggling after putting an addition on our house (due to our littlest angel,) and we are living a bit beyond our means to say the least, but with the housing market the way it is, we will never be able to sell our home for the price we would ask. Anyway, I read on this forum that people working full time at this type around 1,600 lines a day. I don Is that sad? And, how do other mothers with little ones do it? I have really good girls, but my oldest is going through her terrible twos and she requires a lot of my attention. On the rare occasions that they do give me time to type, I feel guilty that I I think, oh, they I have a great play room set up, my oldest has a little desk next to mine with a little keyboard and little earphones (she likes to do work like I do), books, paints, crayons, videos, cushion forts, etc...etc...etc... I type during naps (when they My littlest wakes up at 5:00 a.m. and my older one, shortly after that. Does anyone have any advice? How does everyone else do it? AND how many lines do you all working part time get in per day? I feel like my productivity is pathetic. Thanks and sorry so long.

Take all the time you can... [2007-08-30]
I don I live in CA and received 12 weeks partial pay from the state in addition to taking 4 weeks off before my due date (paid through the state)...
