It doesnt have to be that high
Consider the unnecessary expenses that parents have now ..
For instance though we were poor I bought 6 dozen cloth diapers and washed them out ...saved the diapers for the next child ...only used Pampers when my child was in the church nursery ...
Do you know what a box of Pampers costs now ??? Any brand ???
I breast fed for a few weeks or so ..My youngest for 13 months ...I made my own baby food ...
I sewed the childrens clothes ... and handed then down
Stored the baby furniture in the attic and used the same again and the stroller and the car seat ...
etc
Absolutely! Children would be better off with no more than 10% they and their rooms are flooded with today—including all the electronic ones.
You’re so old fashioned.(good for you!!!)
In today’s world it’s zap it, nuke it or unwrap it.
There’s a reason why landfills are overflowing.
Mores the pity.
