everyone else is the same.  Besides the fact not everyone can
afford to stay home, your kids haven't got to teenage/university
age yet I assume?  stressyBessy22 Mon 25-Mar-13 15:08:51  the
'childcare exclude' bit is the salient point. How old are they?
They get considerably more expensive as they get older?  yeah
how old are they? My 16 year old is pretty expensive to
maintain.  mrsbungle Mon 25-Mar-13 15:10:45  I agree you can't
just 'exclude' child care. I pay over £600 a month in child
care. I am hoping that when they go to school I will be rich!
realises that they will cost the same in different ways

schooler = not very expensive Childcare for a pre-schooler =
£10k+ a year Feeding a clothing a teenager = rather more
expensive  Bigger house/car, extra seats on planes
