@Ben Wallis Oh, sweet summer child, you're giving me the heart palpitations...

I'm an only child and I used Legalzoom to draw up a last will and testament.

I believe in going out and networking is still the best way to find great deals... but, now I have a newborn baby girl (I am happy about this 😁).

We have a newborn.

The IRS website says that "services of a child under age 18 aren't subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes."  

One of our tenants with one child told us that they had been paying $60/month at the laundry mat to do their laundry, they are much happier now that they have it in their home.In my experience, renting an apartment that at least has access to laundry it much easier than one without.

I feel like a new born baby trying to crawl and lift my head up at the same time.

I later on got my own business and worked at a non profit, along side people under collections and had good reason not to be found.One guy fathered a child 16 years before, owed child support for 16 years, never paid.

Trade a child for his house?

Sorry to challenge your misconceptions (not really) but $30,000 a year per child is spent in Washington DC for a 17% competency in reading in public schools.
