[quote=Anonymous]In addition to the direct expenses for kids, there are a lot of other things where I find I end up paying more for convenience or to save time, where I would not have if not for kids. For instance, I sometimes pay for grocery delivery rather than add an errand with kid in tow when I am already pressed for time. The house is messier and I have less time to clean it and feel more of an obligation to keep it clean for kids, so I am going to hire a cleaning service, which I never had pre-kid. I have less time for the dog so I hired a dog walker. I can't think of other examples right now but there are lots of things where I find myself paying extra for convenience or peace of mind, or so I can spend extra time with the kids. [/quote]
