In reality, the decisions we make are never just about money." "Children completely change your life. No matter what your situation is, if you have kids, you’re going to have to pay for childcare. You’ll either pay for it with your time. Or you’ll pay for it with your money." "I’m not an expert on childcare by any means, but to me, getting interaction with other kids and developing social skills is a good thing for his development." Learn more about your ad choices.
