| Such a funny post. I too have posed this question to my husband before. We didn't go so far as to add it up, but boy if we did... Indeed it is scary all the ways in which you completely throw money down the drain. Oddly enough, I can't think of any big specifics right now. Ours is more just a lot of little stuff along the way. Oh, maybe that gym membership I got in January and have used about four times. So sad considering that pre-baby I worked out like crazy my entire life. But that's another story. Other than that, just lots of clothes and shoes for me. I came across a pair of pants in my closet the other day that still had the tags on them. That's just stupid. |

Sushi Ko delivery.
Fancy play group. World's ugliest painting (still up in my living room). Snowsuits for my kids last winter - never worn. Music lessons that my kids hated. (I hated them too.) Pottery Barn everything - rugs, sheets, cribs that never properly worked and are now recalled. German tricycle. Phil & Ted's stroller. Wine and coffee! |

I second the $3500 wedding dress and throw in Chanel sunglasses that went out of style 17 minutes later. Also, probably $15K worth of Banana and BCBG clothes that will never again fit post-children.

| the fancy salon haircuts and highlighting that cost hundreds of dollars every 6 weeks and for which i needed to spend an entire Saturday afternoon away from my kids tortured in that chair staring at myself and chitchatting with a virtual stranger. I haven't noticed any difference since i started to go to cheaper dropin style haircut places and coloring my hair myself (i like the hair color better too!). |
