You have to pay for this?

It varies for us, and I'm sure it will go up with my son in actual school and after my daughter gets a little older when we'll have two kids activities. This summer was more because we had a few different camps and swim lessons that my son did. Fall baseball (his first year playing) was actually way more reasonable than I was expecting at $90 for the season, but I'm not really sure what the extra expenses (uniform,etc.) are going to run yet, but I can't imagine it will be bad. We only do one sport right now at a time during the school year. I don't want to overschedule and tire him out. Plus, I want my kids to learn how to be bored and figure out how to entertain themselves.

"Puramino" brand - completely hydrolized and broken down for milk allergies and other gastric issues.

1 can lasts 3 days @ $45/each.

The worst part is that it isnt sold in stores, so I have to stay on top of it and order from Amazon.

I think it's around 300 per kid maybe more hell I don't know. Dance,cheer,softball,and gymnastics. It's ridiculous to think back when me and my sister grew up. Maybe 30 dollars a month

I'm sure they never tried that and choose to spend $450 on formula

I was envisioning it like the book clubs I've been a part of before - grape juice, snacks and a discussion of symbolism in The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Yeah, I have 3 kids....2 athletes, 1 artsy
I try not to think about what we spend in a year. Kids are expensive anyways, active kids make you sacrifice a lot. I'm the oldest of 5, I respect my parents more everyday if that's possible because of what they did without for us. My dad didn't buy himself a nice truck till all of us were out of the house.
