[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I can barely believe what some of you are paying. [b]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)[/b] 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] I appreciate your ability to be thrifty, but used diapers?[/quote]
