Yeah just looking at my oldest sons teeth right now im going to guess he will probably be okay or not need much. My youngest son though (who has already had one oral maxillofacial surgery at 13 months) is likely going to require extensive work.

Yeah, we were .500 with braces. Oh, and the retainer is supposed to stay in for life. Yeah right.

We make good money, but damn does it suck feeling broke when you're dropping almost $700 a week in daycare.

Just got my yearly summary and we were almost $12,000 this past year for one kid who stopped in August and another who only goes 3 days a week. Sure is nice that I'll get an inflation adjustment on the $2000 child tax credit in the next few years lol. And I am well aware that's a very low number relatively speaking

Yea, it's not fun at all. We've got one going into Kindergarten here in August - but it sucks because we just enrolled our daughter full time, so we just started our 5 year timeline lol.

It was $360 last year, so I assume inflation has drastically increased the costs since thenThat's way higher than what I paid, but this is going back to 2012.

Thus we elected for Mrs. f to be a stay at home Mom for years. Her non masters level social work job would have paid maybe $2000 a month, take out the child care and vehicle expenses and it was well worth whatever pittance would have been left to have her stay with the kids.
Child care is way overpriced and Social Workers are possibly the most underpaid profession. To get to even $50k a year you need your Masters’ degree. Granted people don’t go into that to get rich.

My oldest daughter freelance babysits for two different families during the day Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri at their houses and makes crazy money. Nice benefit of being homeschooled.
Having a kid with cash is the best thing that's ever happened to me as a parent, especially since her route home passes by my office.

Buddy of mine goes all the time, and says he always books one day fewer than needed because you can store your luggage and still access the entire facility on the day of your checkout until close.Any tips or tricks for great wolf lodge in Sandusky? Planning a weekend trip in March with da fam.

Yes, we did that also - only booked one night but plan to go for two days to the Waterpark/indoor pool. I was wondering how that would work. I figured just keep a bag with an outfit as opposed to the whole suitcase.

Get ready to pay absurd money unless you bring a majority of the things you need. We went last year, and are also going in March and are planning to avoid any food at all cost on-sight, where possible. Place is a money pit.Any tips or tricks for great wolf lodge in Sandusky?

Well for one, it's Sandusky Ohio and I think we spent something like $1500 for 3 days last year. It was obscene.

Got one night at GWL for $225 after taxes for 6 (us 4 and grandma and pap). I thought that was decent. We'll make it a point to try and only eat one or two meals there. I'm sure my kid will be a whiny brat and grandma will give in thoughWould recommend Kalahari. Good food on site.

For those of you who had kids with braces, are retainers a thing where kids have to use them at night forever after the braces come off?
