anyone have kids and pay for child care?
My cousin has 2 kids @ $700/month EACH… and they are having a 3rd kid. I can’t fathom paying $2k/month for someone to watch my kids. At what point is having more kids not worth it, LOL…
They want 4, at which point they may consider her being a stay at home mom, or possibly a live-in nanny.
I don’t want kids myself, partly because of the cost issue and not wanting to change my lifestyle
$175.00 a week per kid! Is that a basic care center or an ‘Advanced Pre-School’ program.
I’m about 40 miles south of DFW. Child care runs about $85.00 per week
Good fajita dinner w/drinks & tip for two $60.00
1 bedroom apartment $700.00 per month
Training session with Personal Trainer $45.00-$60.00
I dunno the specifics, I believe the lady has a max of 10 kids or so and they spend time with them teaching some things, but nothing major.
the kids are 3 and like 1.5 though, so teaching can’t be that big of a part
My cousin is a teacher and they even have to pay a holding fee of like $300 per month during the summer. On the one hand I can understand from the sitters perspective business wise, but damn.
I guess they can afford $2000 in child care costs. Good for them for wanting and planning that many children and being able to financially support them all.
$12.99

I pay 780 a month, she goes 3 days a week.
I live in a high cost of living area.
Once she is 15 months + the costs drop a lot though.

On one hand, yes, they are financially responsible. However, I wouldn’t say being able to afford $2k/month for childcare the idea that they can afford so many kids.
Stay with me as we change gears a bit.
Kids should be eating the finest food available, not processed foods, nor hormone/anti-biotic laden foods. I doubt many parents would be able to afford such a diet with so many kids. But, by making sacrifices in food quality, they are able to “afford” so many kids.
This goes for many though who only have one kid, one such reason I don’t want kids right now, we wouldn’t be able to sustain our food quality/workout time/healthy lifestyle to my standards.

yeah, apparently once they are potty trained they will save a little bit per month.

i_am_ketosis life tip #375091: Don’t ever buy Magnum condoms. They aren’t any bigger than the regulars(actually, they are maybe a half inch longer, no bigger girth wise)and considering you can stretch a regular condom over your fist and up your forearm to about the elbow, the only reason you would need anything bigger than that would be because you were planning on being fucked by an elephant or something. Additionally, pretty sure women don’t need a condom to tell them if you have a huge dink or not. So best to just avoid this little pitfall.

Sigh…dude really.
I googled condoms and this was the first that came up at CVS.
We pay $30 a day for our daughter (18 months). She is usually there 4 days a week. It is a “learning center” in a low cost of living area.

Grass fed llama with wild peasant eggs and fresh milked yak from the Himalayas.

I can see the point in asking the question, but that does not mean it’s a legitimate one.
I will answer though. I lived off sugar filled stuff, next to no veggies (potatoes were probably it). I got lucky though, I saw the way the lifestyle damaged my parents and took a different direction. Many others don’t, the rates of type 2 diabetes alone prove this.

so you think it’s responsible for parents that can’t really afford to have kids, to have them anyways and feed them the SAD? putting organic/grass-fed aside, I’m talking lucky charms for breakfast, PB white bread sammiches and fast food dinners b/c maybe that’s all they can get by on. BTW- that literally was my diet as a kid.

The world needs ditch diggers too, bro. Everyone can’t be the best and brightest. As long as parents can feed, clothe, and shelter their kids (without gov’t assistance) and give them love, it’s all good in my book.
You sound like a fucking snob.
We are getting hooked up…$175/wk for 2 kids. She is giving one of them free daycare… thank god.
