[quote=Anonymous]Daycare - $600 for after care
Commute - Gas, wear and tear (?) - $50 but if I SAH, I'd be out of the house constantly. I'd be spending that much on shopping, seeing friends, volunteering, picking up/dropping off kids, running errands, etc. - my commute is 10 miles. 
Parking - $0 - my employer pays for parking, so weird that yours doesn't 
Cleaning Services - $0 - Every SAHM I know has a cleaning lady, so there is no difference her 
Clothing - $0 I would just spend more on casual stuff. I buy very little casual clothes now and I rarely buy new work clothes, especially the past two years when I'm only in the office 2 days a week
Dry Cleaning - $10 You spend 100 a month on dry cleaning? Find a cheaper dry cleaner, crazy! 
Lunches - $0 - I pack lunch most days and my SAHM friends go out to lunch/get takeout a LOT
Coffees/Breakfast on the Run - $0 - I don't buy coffee or breakfast at work. I'd probably spend more money on this if I SAH
Takeout - $0 - You think SAHMs don't order takeout just as much as you do? Girl please.[/quote]
