  • Do play dates with the same kids. Diff ones can be a lot.
    It helps if there’s something there that kid likes. And if you can lead the conversation.
    Look at all these pretty toys. My favorite color is blue. What’s your favorite color, Timmy? Max’s favorite color is green.
    Etc. etc.

    Feeling involved in the convo is good even if they aren’t speaking


















  • Hospital isn’t where it ends. I’m paying like 30 cents to 50 cents per diaper. Newborns can go thru like 8 of them a day, down to 3-4 once they are a few years old. Kids still wear them at night until sleep without peeing. Average it out to 2 a day * 0.40 * 365 * 5 yrs Or, 10 * 0.40 * 365 So around $1400 in diapers alone. Not including all the creams / wipes you need with that. Food. Medicine. Clothes. Toys. Sick days. Car seats. Strollers. Childcare for a thousand or two per month.

    Give 50k and maybe you’d break even.
