Kids of EB

[MA_PE]

I remember thinking when I get them out of diapers we will have some more $$

then it was when we get them out of day care we will have more $$

then it was when they stop playing travel ball...

etc..

etc...

etc...

we do feel good about being on the "back side" of the child years. I have truly loved raising kids but at the same time I am looking towards seeing them fly away from the nest.. and taking the next natural steps into adulthood..whether that be College, the circus, Army, etc....

It will be nice to be able and just say "Hey lets Fly to the Keys this weekend and go dive the Spiegal Grove and fly home" Much Much more affordable with 2 people..hard to beleive I am only a few years away from that!

Once they go off to school, Army, the circus etc. It'll be let's fly to go see them or (cheaper alternative pay for their flight back) for the holidays, etc.

Our kids are 5, 3, and 6 weeks. The first two are very close and play together a lot and like to help with the baby.

The hope is that they are far enough apart that they will have their own groups of friends once they get school aged but still be close enough together to have some common interest for vacations and family stuff.

Its going to suck once they hit the driving/college age like others have said. We'll help as much as we can but with 3 unless I get really lucky sometime in the next 10 years I won't be able to pay for it all.

I totally read that the wrong way and was like wow- didn't think THAT was possible

Yeah, three weeks of labor to deliver triplets sounds pretty brutal.

its nothing to the pain of my no scalpel vasectomy though...

I guess it was a laser or something?

BUt there was a very cute nurse with ice cold hands involved....

Thanks all for entertaining my question today. What did I get out of it? Something about 6 weeks of labor and using teeth for a circumcision.

 

[NJmike PE]

I hope you didn't expect anything useful around here.

 

[Road Guy]

2 years apart.. thats my vote..

 

[MA_PE]

2 legs apart always helps.

Seems like more and more people are opting not to get married before having kids together. How do you think you would react if your kids decided to go this route?

 

[Supe]

That probably depends on how they handled it. Then again, it would be hard to hear them voice their opinion as they're hanging from a noose.

Agreed

My wife and I have been talking about college since our first was born. We plan to help them out as much as we can. She's a college counselor so she sees all the financial stuff first hand. We've slowly been trying to get our finances in order so we haven't even opened up a 529 for him yet. What is scary is that by the time he's ready to go to school, college will cost upwards of $100K per year.

Both my and her parents were poor when we attended college, so we didn't have a huge debt to pay after graduating. We're expecting we won't get any financial help though. Some of the ivy league schools have started adopting a tiered tuition based on what the parents make so there's that. I think for Harvard, if you make $150K or less, you're only paying 10% of your income for tuition.

In other news, we finally got my son potty trained. I still have to watch him when he goes though. The other day, I caught him sticking his hand in the toilet and touching the water... ewww. It's perfect timing though, especially with #2 coming in a couple of weeks.

It got me thinking..by the time she is almost ready to go college, you should invest all the money you saved up on high volatile stock...you can have a 30% ROI...within 90days if you are lucky ...

or invest all the money into stocks and ride it out for 10 years!

What could worst you saving up $350k and she goes to a philosophy major or history..nothing wrong with that just can't find high paying job
