[quote=Anonymous]They eat more. Orthodontics is expensive. Music lessons and sports can become more costly as they increase their commitment. You will still need some childcare (if you are working) The specialized camps (or sleepaway camps) that appeal to older kids can be pricey but you can certainly just say no and send them to county camps. Tutors if your child is struggling. The biggest expense for us was unforeseen disabilities and healthcare issues that we didn't expect. Two of our 3 appeared typically developing through first grade. They both require weekly therapies now. [/quote]
