[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I can barely believe what some of you are paying. We paid nothing in child care until our oldest was 5 and our youngest was 2. We also bought clothes from thrift stores, traded babysitting with neighbors and used (used) cloth diapers. And potty trained before 2. (HUGE cost savings) Now we pay $800 a month for full time preschool for 2 year old and $50 a month for aftercare for our 5 year old. Total cost will go down to $100 a month for both kids when 2 year old turns 3 and starts at DC public school in August. $0 for classes (enrichment at school is included in aftercare cost). $2k for both kids for 6 weeks camp this summer Food? Minimal, they eat what we eat. Clothes? Maybe $300 a year for both kids combined. Our biggest expense with them is vacations -- airline tickets for four are expensive, plus bigger rental car, plus accommodation costs.[/quote] How did you pay nothing in child care? You stayed at home? Or grandparents?[/quote]
