My boys are 8 & 5, spent about $100 more per kid than you. They’ll be fine. We are going to Disney in March and that was another $2000 using points for 100% of our airfare.

I wasn’t gonna get a lot for our son (8 months), since he will not remember it, but I couldn’t help it. I spent about $400.

My four month old will get about $50 worth of stuff from us and probably $5000 worth of stuff from his grandparents

Depends. Year of first rifle it may be $1000. If it’s an XBox or IPad it may be $600. If it’s a new bike year it may be $400. If it’s going to be a major vacation year, like skiing, then it may simply be $200 for ski clothes. Really don’t have a budget.

Then I will buy a book about hoaxes. Perhaps I can get him a book about aliens. Area 51? You probably believe in aliens, too, right? What else? Elvis still alive? Maybe you think Tupac and Biggie are in the Caribbean.

We spent like 140 for my GFs kid so far but he is three..kid doesn't need expensive toys. We also got a really cool indoor/outdooe trampoline with net and swing for free from a friend for him that's basically new. Also building him a swing set in the back yard once I take my week off for Christmas like I do yearly.

I'm fairly certain those that believe the moon landing was a hoax are the ones that believe the shite you listed, not the other way around

I feel like some of you, even those of you who are apparently parents, clearly don’t know what 12 weeks old looks like
