Having kids is expensive.
From the hospital car park charges at birth to the Hamleys-at-home toy stockpile required to keep them soothed, entertained and educated to the almost daily update of ever-larger clothing to keep them warm and on to the lavish Bacchanalia you have to lay on each day once they hit their teens, raising children is – yes, yes, yes, all very “rewarding” and all that – the single biggest financial drain your life will ever know. Bless ’em.
