What does a child cost?
Recently I ran across a post from SoloMother about how much it costs to raise a child today. I think watching your money and being careful with not spoiling your kids by giving them everything they want is wise. But I couldn’t imagine putting a price tag on how much it would cost to raise my daughter. I just don’t want to know. I would probably get depressed after I compared that number with my income. All I know is that she is happy, fed, healthy, and getting smarter every day. So, Christina, you just tell dad that it costs the same as any other kid and to give your son what he needs most, time and kisses. Oh yeah, and you need a raise because motherhood should have one salary but single motherhood should be slightly higher :)

How much does it cost to raise a child today?
1.) Sometimes your job because bosses don’t understand in lower paying jobs.
2.) Lots of lost sleep.
3.) Forget all night partying with friends.
4.) Your sanity
5.) That flat hard as rock abdomen.
6.) Your last nerve.
7.) Your freedom if you decide to marry the father.
8.) Admitting you are NOT perfect.
9.) Realizing that you are becoming your mother.
10.) Endless worry from colic to where is she at this hour when she is 15.
11. Your clothing allotment cut to 1/3 or less than what you use to spend
BUT…..
The cost of it all totalled here: PRICELESS, OF COURSE.
