It certainly isn't cheap. Likewise, my taxi meter runs overtime. How many parties and play dates can two 4 and 6 yrs old go to? We're jealous they have a social life and we don't!
Their needs are cheap, it's the wants that add up. Fortunately, our two are not demanding and it's me who gets carried away buying this and that. I've learnt, after watching all the disused toys, to only buy if they show an interest in something.
It becomes expensive when you live your expectations through your children.
