So I literally had this thought this morning: why is anyone on here still enrolling their children in school? I thought better of making a post because people with children usually get prickly if asked to explain a parenting choice to someone without children. I spent the last decade determined I wouldn’t have kids because it meant enrolling them in school and extra curriculars while I would bust my ass at a job to pay for someone else to raise them. Now, with schools being outed for what they really are, I could get behind having kids, homeschooling and homesteading with them. That kind of parenting appeals to me. Not daycare parenting.
Probably less than the boat would cost over that amount of time. Or a house for sure... or a car. Hell, just buying a car is more than that, add on maintenance and your car costs more than raising a kid to 18.

If you didn't want kids to begin with, don't have them. Don't they cost about a quarter million from birth to age 18?
