[quote=Anonymous]I didn't realize how all encompassing it is. I remember someone asked me not too long after my oldest was born about how much babies cost, and I went through and itemized some things: daycare, diapers, formula, etc. Then a few years later someone asked the same thing, and I remember just thinking "All of it. You will never make another major financial decision where you don't factor in your child." And its not just finances. Our children impact so many life decisions. It's true for our careers, both of us, what city we decided to live in, and where in the city, how we spend our time on the weekends, where we vacation, who our friends are, whether or not we would get divorced when things got hard, how we think and talk and perceive every day experiences, our relationships with our own parents, etc etc. I can't even say how much my children have impacted my life except to say that it has been thoroughly and in every aspect.
