I agree with what someone else said. Everyone is so focused on money these days. And I get it, life, kids, everything is expensive.
Whatever happened to just simplifying and living a life within your means. Parents are running around, working crazy hours so the can HAVE, but its the kids who lose out. They are the ones who get shuffled out of bed, rushed out the door, scooped up hours later in the mad race to get home, only to be fed, showered and shoved back into bed, so parents can HAVE some quiet time.
No thanks! I would rather put date nights and vacation on hold for the next couple of years than make my kids go through that! Childhood goes way too fast, no way I would give this time up for any amount of money!
All I took away from this article is that childhood can be broken down into a mathematical equation that ends in a dollar sign.
