Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
We have 2 boys- 11 and 14. We started late (I was 32, DH 40) and we enjoy them- mostly. Every once in a while I look at my husband, and say, "Y'know, golden retrievers woulda been quieter..." Or cheaper, or whatever they're annoying me with at the moment. I wouldn't trade them for anything, but I don't want any more, either. I can see why some people don't want kids. Being a parent is hard. Being a working mom is exhausting.
I was lucky that I got to take them to work with me for nearly a year before they had to go off to daycare. 2 in daycare was nearly a mortgage payment. They are expensive, but probably not 200K. We'd done a lot of saving before they came along and I will still be retiring at 50- before they go to college.
