[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Complaining about how expensive kids are, to your kids, is such a pet peeve of mine. My dad did this all the time and it's impossible because as a child, what are you going to do? Stop eating? Wear clothes with holes in them? Never do any activities and never have any medical needs and never lose anything and not go to college?

Kids cost money. They are people, they have to eat and need a place to live. And yes, they are going to ask to have things that they see other people having or that they want. THAT'S NORMAL. It is normal to see things and think "oh I want that." And children don't work for a living (and shouldn't have to) and don't have the means to buy things for themselves. So yes, they are going to ask you. If doing so makes you feel bad, it's not because your kids are ungrateful jerks, it's because you have some internal stuff you need to deal with regarding money. Deal with it.

I just can't stand it when parents act beleaguered about the totally normal and predictable financial demands of having children. You know what's free? Not having kids.[/quote]

And this ruined your life, right? So now your parents have to pay for your therapy.  :roll: [/quote]

Your post makes no sense. PP said nothing about their life. You’re drawing conclusions, likely because you feel offended. Sorry your kids don’t like you. [/quote]
