[quote=Anonymous]Well I guess I am not the norm.

My kids didn't need braces, we never spend money, nor will I ever spend money on tutors or test prep. They play high school sports and one plays travel of a max of $1000/yr.   One is in the Robotics club.  One is in the debate club.  Both free.  They volunteer in camps so one pays $50/week and the other is free. Before that, they were signed up in Girl Scout camps which were no more than $150/wk and we did 2 weeks of that and one week of sports camp at $225.  This summer one will lifeguard and actually make decent money.  They both have been babysitting since 13 and have bank accounts.  I haven't seen my store bills get much higher.  Neither kid cares about name brands very much. My one daughter is a tomboy so the glitz and glam prices aren't there.  When they were younger they played in country rec teams and the cost was about $60 a season.

So if you don't think they need constant activities and pressure to be the best.  Oh and keeping up with the Jones'  - it isn't close to what others are saying.    [/quote]
