If you are a parent who has not had ‘the talk’ with your child as far as sex education, just look above at the cost of raising your new grandchild. If you are a man or woman who does not use any form of protection when having sex: Are you astounded by the prices above when that baby is born? Should the stork arrive, one can hear the ‘Ka-ching’ noise.
It seems to me that when one discusses money, it does get people’s attention and I wanted to bring to light how much a new baby costs: health care aside. That is up to Washington, D.C. but the items above listed are purely your responsibility. Babies need stuff! I can almost hear those ready for their hot dates coming up this weekend running for their drug store to buy a box of condoms. Can’t you?
