When are kids most expensive?

I was at the dentist today, and the dental hygienist told me that she thinks that kids become more expensive as they get older. I currently pay $1,000 a month for my 2-year-old's day care. Add in the cost of diapers, and I can't imagine how a teenager going to public school could cost more. I know that teenagers are more to feed and clothe and they are involved in more expensive activities, but that can't possibly cost more than what I am currently dropping on day care, right?

That is a one time expense though, and hopefully, I won't be paying for any of her other expenses at the time. That also assumes that I have a girl one day. I just have a boy now with another on the way.

And don't forget food, especially if they're boys. I have 3 teenage nephews and the grocery bill for that house

A one time expense that can easily cost you 30-50K

College.
19K a semester which is just tuition.
Add: food, vehicle, medical, clothes, and entertainment.

When they exist.
From what I can tell, those little frickers are always one blink away from a serious financial burden.

That's a solid point.

I'm thinking if you don't buy them a car, there is no way that they cost more when they are teenagers (assuming public school).

Damn son you might want to look into another daycare because you are getting ripped off! I don't pay that much for 2 kids

I have a friend in Maryland ponying up $500 per week for one kid. Outlandish.
