[quote=Anonymous]OP, I wouldn't sign up for this. You say that you have plenty of money and can afford it. With that mentality, your kids will just ask for more and more and more, and you will also find more and more and more to spend on them, because "you can". This will spoil your kids. The question is, do you think this activity has intrinsic value? I could see spending money on something truly educational that they might never get a chance to be exposed to again. I could even see spending money on something *they are asking for*. If you develop a reputation with your kids early on that "we don't spend money frivolously", "the cruise is your treat!" etc. you will have kids who do not expect to have everything handed to them. It's good for their character BTW to see other kids getting things that they aren't getting. Not because you can't afford it, but because that wasn't where you chose to spend the money. [/quote]
