Last week I was opening mail and groaned when I got yet another bill for Ella (seriously when do they stop!). Aydin (my stepson) asked me what was the matter. I told him that it was another bill from the hospital for delivering Ella. Then we proceed with the convo below:
A: How much is it?
Me: A lot
A: More than $100?
Me: Yes
A: What! You have to pay to have a baby - I can't believe that! That's crazy....Why do you have to pay?
Me: You have to pay the hospital / drs / etc for your care.
A: Well - I'm glad I can never have kids - they are waaaayyyy too expensive! I would be broke if I had one.
I guess he doesn't realize that the delivery charges are just the beginning...there's all their diapers, daycare, numerous toys, birthday parties, summercamp - I could go on and on...Ugh!
