[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes they do!!!  I used to be able to buy plain socks, generic tees, etc.  Now they want brands, even for socks.  Also, their toys are more expensive.  My daughter wants a sewing machine for her birthday.  My son wants a Nintendo Switch (I think that's what it's called).  Going out to dinner, they don't want the kid's menu, they eat more and want to try new things all the time.  Their activities are also more expensive because they want certain academies which are better than others. My son swims which is very expensive  and this year he asked to attend clinics to improve his technique.  [/quote]

Nothing that you are describing is a necessity.  Sure they need socks, but when you're wearing shoes who the hell even sees the socks?  You can find a perfectly good used sewing machine on ebay or craigslist.  However, decent childcare is a must.  As for going out to dinner, that's also a nice thing to do not a necessity.  You can easily get an oven roasted chicken at Costco for $4.  [/quote]
